MN FAMILY RESORT VIRTUAL TOUR
Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground has finished updating the Virtual Tour on the Hungry Jack Lodge website. The Virtual Tour of our resort has a totally new look and feel to it and offers a larger viewing area.

The new Virtual Tour has been expanded to include many new scenes that were not in the older version of our Virtual Tour. Though many of the Cabin scenes have not changed there are a multitude of new scenes of our recently completed lakefront log main lodge building (inside and outside) in addition to new Virtual Tour scenes of the Hungry Jack Lodge family resort grounds.

Be sure to visit our Gunflint Trail Resort Virtual Tour page to view the new Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground Virtual Tour. You’ll be able to see what our Grand Marais MN, Gunflint Trail family and fishing resort has to offer vacationers at our northern MN family and fishing resort.



“ALL YOU CAN EAT” DINNERS ON THE GUNFLINT TRAIL
In addition to our new Virtual Tour you can now also see our “all you can eat” Summer Dinner Menu on our lakefront resort website. Lightly battered Walleye, baby back ribs and scrumptious steaks are just a few of the items on our menu. Visit the Grand Marais Lakeside Dining page of our website to see or print our summer menu.

Just a reminder --- We do require one day notice for dinner reservations. Call (218) 388-2262 for “all you can eat” dinner reservations at our Gunflint Trail resort.

HUNGRY JACK LAKE GIVES UP 31" WALLEYE
Josh Hallberg caught the 31" walleye shown below on Hungry Jack Lake, during his 3 day stay at Hungry Jack Lodge. He caught the "wall hanger" on Saturday, July 10th by trolling with a Rapala.

As I mentioned in our last posing, even though it is the middle of summer and the weather is warm fishing is still good. You might have to work a little bit to get a nice walleye like Josh caught but the walleyes, small mouthed bass and an occassional northern pike are still biting.

MINNESOTA GUNFLINT TRAIL CAMPGROUND
Let’s face it there are a number of places to camp in the Gunflint Trail area. So how do you choose where to camp during your northern MN vacation? In order to figure out which campground on the Gunflint Trail is best for you, you have ask yourself a couple of questions.

Do you want to stay in a Forest Service campground without running water, showers and flush toilets? Do you want to stay at a campground along the Gunflint Trail or elsewhere and hear a lot of traffic noise? Or, would you like a Gunflint Trail campground right next to a gravel road so you can eat dust from passing cars?

If you answered YES to any of the foregoing questions then the Gunflint Trail campground at Hungry Jack Lodge & Campground is not for you. We do not have road noise from the Gunflint Trail or dust due to being next to a gravel road. On the other hand, our northern Minnesota lakeside campground on Hungry Jack Lake is a full service MN campground with electric and water hook ups, shower house and a dump station for your motor home or RV.  Fire pits and picnic tables are in every campsite and free campfire wood is available.

In addition to being a full service MN campground, all of the amenities and services of Hungry Jack Lodge are available to you and your camping party. Canoe rentals, pontoon boat rentals, fishing boat & motor rentals are available along with bait and Gunflint Trail fishing guide service.

You can be a pampered camper at Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground on the Gunflint Trail in Grand Marais, MN. Tired of cooking in your campsite over a fire or small stove? Treat your family to one of our “all you can eat” family style dinners in our lakeside dining room. If you or someone needs to keep in touch with your office or check your email you can walk to our main resort log lodge and use our free WiFi. Our “Loggers Lounge” is of course available to you and offers full beverage service including cocktails. You’ll also find a pool table, darts and an electronic hunting game in the Loggers Lounge along with tables to play cards or other games.

NORTHERN MN FISHING
Fishing on Hungry Jack Lake and the other lakes in the Gunflint Trail area has been about normal for mid-summer. Unlike fishing in the spring, during the mid-summer months you will have to work a little bit for anything other than eating sized small mouthed bass and walleye. Occasional monster walleye’s in the 28” to 32” range are being caught on Hungry Jack Lake but most of the fish are not real “wall hangers” at this time of the year.

There have been some people catching nice sized Lake Trout on Leo Lake. Leo Lake is right next to Hungry Jack lake and is well known for trout fishing. Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground does offer fishing boats for rent for trout fishing on Leo Lake.

During the mid-summer and at other times, when the fish are not as plentiful as during the spring and fall months, we highly recommend that our guests use our professional fishing guide service. Being local professionals our Gunflint Trail fishing guides know what is biting where and what fishing baits and methods will work best to insure that you have a great day of fishing. We suggest that you book a fishing guide at the earliest possible date, due to the fact that our fishing guides get booked up quickly. Fishing Guide service is available for a half or full day through Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground.

BOUNDAY WATER CANOE AREA DAY TRIP
The new BWCAW Day Trip video on Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground Summer Activities page of our website has been a great hit. For those of you have not seen the video, I suggest that you view it on the Gunflint Trail Summer Activities page or the MN Photo Galleries page of our website. The video gives canoe paddling directions from our Minnesota family and fishing resort to Rose Falls, which is inside the BWCA(W) between Duncan Lake and Rose lake, on the U.S. Canadian border.

The video has spurred considerable interest and more people are now taking this 3 to 5 hour canoe day trip into the BWCAW from Hungry Jack Lodge. Canoe rentals for the Rose Falls and Stairway Portage canoe day trip are available from Hungry Jack Lodge to both guests and non-guests of our northern Minnesota resort & campground. If you have never been to the Rose Lake waterfall I strongly suggest that you do. The day trip to Rose Falls and Stairway Portage is a relatively easy canoe trip that can be enjoyed by young and old alike.

GRAND MARAIS DINING ON THE GUNFLINT TRAIL
Hungry Jack Lodge has always been well known for it's “all you can eat” family style dinners and this year it is even more popular. With a spectacular tranquil lake view of Hungry Jack Lake, the dining room in our new log lodge is even more beautiful than our old Gunflint Trail dining room had been. Our dining menu changes daily and offers some of the best food, lovingly prepared by Chef Ericka and Chef Forrest that you’ll find in northern Minnesota.

Dining is available to guests and non-guest of Hungry Jack Lodge & Campground. Our dining room is a one of the favorite places to eat for local residents from Grand Marais and the Gunflint Trail area. Reservations for our “all you can eat” family style meals are required no later than the day before your dinner.
