Winter has arrived at Hungry Jack Lodge winter resort on the Gunflint Trail in 
Grand Marais, Minnesota. As you can see in the pictures that I took yesterday morning. We currently have around 8” of snow on the ground. We did receive about 3” of snow earlier this week here at Gunflint Trail winter resort. I do know that Grand Marais received about 4”+ Friday night. We are expecting to get more snow this weekend I will send out a report once the conditions change.
The snowmobile club has been out working on the trails to get them ready for the upcoming season. No grooming has started yet but if we get more snow we anticipate the trails will be started to be groomed, again I will let you know when this happens. We have a good solid 8”+ of ice here on Hungry Jack Lake. I have not had a chance to go out and drill another hole to see what the current conditions are.
If you would like to be added to the snow report email list visit our winter resort website http://www.hungryjacklodge.com/ to sign up to receive free MN snow report emails. I will send out the next Gunflint Trail email snow report once the conditions change.
Our winter resort rental cabins and log cabins are filling up quickly. If you plan on coming up to the Gunflint Trail or Grand Marais, MN for a snowmobile vacation of winter get-away we suggest that you make your winter cabin rental reservations very soon, to insure that a winter cabin is available for the winter vacation dates that you want.

Our Minnesota winter resort on the Gunflint Trail is blanketed with snow and it won't be long before the winter snowmobiling vacation season starts. Work is progressing on our new lodge building while we await our first snowmobile and ice fishing winter rental cabin guests.
Initially there were delays in starting construction due to awaiting permits and the like. And, there were instances of having to wait for materials that did not get delivered on time.
Initially there were delays in starting construction due to awaiting permits and the like. And, there were instances of having to wait for materials that did not get delivered on time.
But, as you can see above, the walls are now erected on the new Hungry Jack Resort log lodge and the roof framing is partially complete. Fall rain and now snow & cold weather has caused construction to be somewhat slow but we have not stopped and are working as quickly as we can to get our Gunflint Trail resort log lodge building completed as soon as we can.
When completed, some time around the middle of April 2009, the new log lodge at our Gunflint Trail, Grand Marais, MN lakeside family resort will have all of the latest, up-to-date conveniences and ammenities available.
The lower level willl again house our famous "Loggers Lounge", with more room than it previous had. There will be a larger bar, more tables and a larger pool table and recreation area along with a stone fireplace.
The main-entrance level will again be be where our dining room and office will be located along with a new gift shop area and a relaxing "sitting area" complete with a cozy fireplace. The center section of the main level will be open to a two story high roof/ceiling.
Be sure to make your family vacation reservations for our northern MN lakeside cabins, log cabins and cottages earlier than normal for 2009. We anticipate that bookings at our Gunflint Trail resort will fill up faster than normal due to the many great new features and amenities.
In addition, our MN winter cabins, log cabins and cottage rentals are filling up quickly. If you are planning a winter get-away or snowmobiling vacation at our winter resort on the Gunflint Trail we suggest that you make your winter cabin reservations now.

Take a look at the success that the Siwek family had during there stay here at Hungry Jack Lodge. The Siwek family has been staying here at Hungry Jack Lodge for many years and have experienced all kinds of fishing success. This year however they had extremely great luck at a lake and they would not disclose the name of for some great pan fish and Walleyes.
Congratulations on all of the nice fish that you caught. We look forward to seeing your family again next year.

The Sanborn family of Chaska, MN had a great evening of fishing as you can see in the photos. All of these fish were caught with a slip bobber and a leech. The walleye that Gene caught was in about 25ft of water and it measured 28" weighing just under 8 lbs. Tracy's bass was 18" and Tim's bass was about 17".
The Sanborn family are long time returning customers here at Hungry Jack Lodge. The fishing has been very steady with lots of success from several different parties.

HUNGRY JACK LODGE BENEFIT
WAS A HUGE SUCCESS
The “Pigina-polka” cook-out benefit held at Hungry Jack Lodge on Sunday, August 17, 2008 was a huge success. Forrest Parson and Ericka would like to thank everyone that attended and contributed to the event. Proceeds from the event will be of great help in reconstructing a new main lodge to replace the lodge that had been totally destroyed by fire in March of 2008.
The people that attended came from near and far. There were of course many people in attendance that have homes and cabins on Hungry Jack Lake. Business owners and people residing along the Gunflint Trail also were in great numbers as were people from Grand Marais, Lutsen and other towns along the Northshore. There were also people from Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and other midwestern states at the benefit cook-out.
Most of the people who attended came by car, however a few of the Hungry Jack Lake residents came by canoe and kayak. Overall attendance was greater that expected and exceeded the anticipation of the staff of Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground.
The BBQ baby back ribs and chicken were excellent. Baked beans, coleslaw (with crab meat added) topped off the menu. There were of course plenty of ice cold beverages available to quench the thirst.
In addition to the excellent food there were other activities. Horseshoes, bean bag toss were popular with those who attended. Smaller kids enjoyed swimming at the sand beach on the rather warm and sunny day. Free pontoon boat rides to the base of Honeymoon Bluff, at the east end of Hungry Jack Lake, were an especially great hit with those in attendance.
Again, we at Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground would like to thank all that attended. Your participation and contributions are greatly appreciated.
As construction of our new lodge proceeds will attempt to keep everyone up-to-date on this blog and on the Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground website at www.hungryjacklodge.com.

Good Morning All,
As you can see the final demo is complete and we are getting ready to start construction. I have been approved by the US Forest Service and Cook County. The last step is to get approval from the MN Dept of Health for the kitchen and bar areas. I am anticipating to start construction no later than the first part of Sept. if all goes well.
On another note the fish have been biting steady. I have had some fisherman who were catching some nice walleyes and bass this week. The weather has been nice lately but rather windy. We did recieve a pretty steady rain last night.
Please keep us in mind for MN Fishing resorts and check out our website at www.hungryjacklodge.com
