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.

Almost everyone who visits the Gunflint Trail and northeastern Minnesota has heard of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW). Unfortunately, there are many visitors and guests staying on the Gunflint Trail that think that you have to canoe and camp overnight inside the BWCA in order to experience the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. That misconception is not true.
BWCAW CANOE DAY TRIPS
One of the popular Gunflint Trail summer activities, for people staying at a resort on the Gunflint Trail is to take a day trip into the Boundary Waters. There are many unforgettable “canoe day trips” into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area that can be made easily by people who are not experienced canoe paddlers. One of the better known canoe day trips into the BWCA is to go to Stairway Portage and Rose Falls, a waterfall between Duncan Lake and Rose Lake near the U.S./Canadian border.
Being adjacent to the BWCA(W), Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground is an excellent starting location for a canoe day trip to Rose Falls and Stairway Portage. Canoe rentals are available from Hungry Jack Lodge & Campground for BWCA(W) day trips and are very reasonably priced. So, unless you have your own canoe, we suggest that you get your Gunflint Trail canoe rental at Hungry Jack Lodge. By renting a canoe from Hungry Jack Lodge you will be able to leave for Stairway Portage and Rose Falls right from Hungry Jack Lake and not need to load a canoe on the top of your car and drive it up to Hungry Jack Lake.
DIRECTIONS TO ROSE FALLS WATERFALL
There are some people that are afraid that they will get lost is they canoe in the Boundary Waters. Trust me when I say that you won’t get lost. The trip to Rose Falls waterfall and Stairway Portage is simple and requires only a moderate amount of physical effort. For directions to Rose Falls watch the video shown below.
PLAN YOUR ROSE FALL CANOE DAY TRIP
Be sure to read the regulations shown below. Pack a lunch, snacks and water for your trip. Be sure not to take things that need to be kept cold. Make sure your camera batteries are charged. (You’ll probably take a lot of photos.) You may want to take a towel, dry shoes and possibly pants and leave them in your car so that you have dry/clean clothes when you return, if you get wet during your trip. Don’t forget the sunscreen and a cap.
Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground does have snacks, beverages and drinks available in the lakeside “Loggers Lounge” located in the main lodge at our Gunflint Trail family and fishing resort. “All You Can Eat”, family style dinners are available at Hungry Jack Lodge but require advanced reservations. Plan ahead, by making your dinner reservation the day before your canoe day trip (call us at 1-218-388-2265). Then, when you return from your BWCAW canoe day trip to Rose Falls you can relax and have a drink or two before dinner in what many consider the nicest lodge and dining room on the Gunflint Trail.
BWCAW REGULATIONS
Permits are required to enter the Boundary Waters and must be carried with you during your BWCA trip. Free Day Use Permits are available at Hungry Jack Lodge. Motors are not allowed on Duncan Lake or most lakes within the BWCA. The maximum group size in the Boundary Waters is nine people and four watercraft. Pack out whatever trash you have. Do not throw fish remains or litter in the lakes. Cans and glass bottles are not allowed in the BWCAW. Containers of insect repellent, medicines and other items that are not foods or beverages are the only cans or bottles allowed. Read the full BWCAW Regulations.

The MN walleye and northern pike fishing seasons open on May 15th In 2009 the ice was not totally out of most Gunflint Trail lakes until just a few days before the MN walleye opener but this year Hungry Jack Lake and most other lakes in northern Minnesota were ice free a few weeks ago. Only time will tell as to whether the walleye fishing will be as good during the first few weeks of the season this year as it was in 2009.
Clean out your tackle box and get your lakefront fishing cabin booked at Hungry Jack Lodge on the Gunflint Trail in northern Minnesota as soon as possible. We already have a number of reservations for the Walleye Opener and expect to fill up lakefront rental cabins quickly.
Unfortunately our online reservation system for cabin rental was down for a few weeks in April.
But, during this past week we have switched our lakeside cottage and log cabin Online Reservations to a new system. The new reservation system for our lakefront rental cabins now offers more photos of our cabins and cottages along with better descriptions. Just as in the past, you can be assured that any cabin or log cabin reservations that you make at our lakeside Gunflint Trail, Grand Marais, MN resort using our online reservations is totally secure.
VIRTUAL TOUR OF OUR MN FAMILY RESORT
The Virtual Tour of our Gunflint 
Trail resort has over the past couple of year become outdated, but we are in the process of being brought up to date.
During the winter 10 new “scenes” were shot at two different locations for our northern Minnesota resort Virtual Tour. There are now scenes of our newly constructed log lodge, including the main level with dining & sitting areas and gift shop, “loggers lounge” bar level and a number of exterior scenes.
Our old family lakefront resort Virtual Tour had been lacking tour “scenes” of our premium Elk log cabin. There are now 3 different Elk Cabin virtual tour scenes available for you to view.
The new virtual tour scenes of our MN lakeside resort are available for your viewing on the Virtual Tour page of our website and can be accessed by clicking on the text link for the scenes. We plan on shooting additional scenes for the virtual tour of our MN family and fishing resort during this coming summer. Once all of the new scenes are shot, our virtual tour will be totally re-created to include all of the new virtual tour scenes at our.

The winter snowmobiling season at our Gunflint Trail lakefront resort has come to an end. We are in somewhat of a lull here at our MN lakeside family fishing resort as everyone awaits the beginning of MN fishing season.
The opening date for Minnesota Walleye fishing is May 15th. The summer Lake Trout and northern pike fishing seasons begin on the same date. May 29th is the opening date for Large Mouth Bass and Small Mouth Bass.
Because our MN family fishing resort is so popular with anglers we already have a number of lakefront cabin rental reservations for the week of the Walleye/Lake Trout opening season. However, there are still a few fishing cabin rental vacancies at our Gunflint Trail resort. If you and your friends or family plan on fishing during the week of the Walleye Opener we suggest that you make your rental cabin reservations at Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground very soon. We’re sure that remaining lakefront fishing cabins at our Grand Marais, Gunflint Trail resort will fill up quickly.
Being adjacent to the Boundary Water Canoe Area (BWCAW) guests at our northern Minnesota fishing resort also have the opportunity to fish the mid Gunflint Trail lakes inside the Boundary Waters (BWCA(W) very easily. Walleye fishing the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is only two very short portages away from your lakefront fishing cabin at our Hungry Jack Lake resort.
Gunflint Trail fishing guide service is available at Hungry Jack Lodge family resort. Boat and canoe rentals are also available at our lakeside resort. Our family fishing resort also has live bait and MN fishing licenses along with a limited amount of fishing tackle.
For more information about Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground, located off the Gunflint Trail in Grand Marais MN., please visit our website at http://www.hungryjacklodge.com/. You’ll find a host of information on the Hungry Jack Lodge website about our lakeside cabin and log cabin rentals, fishing guide service, boat & canoe rentals and fishing in the Boundary Waters and Hungry Jack Lake itself.

Snowmobile trail grooming is being done today on the mid Gunflint Trail snowmobile trails and is being done 3 to 4 times each week. We got about 1” of fresh snow last night, here at our mid Gunflint Trail snowmobiling resort. Grand Marais MN received about 4” of snow last night and the Devils Track area got a very respectable 8” of snow.
Early January was poor for snowmobiling in the Grand Marais and Gunflint Trail areas of Minnesota, but that has changed. Though we personally have not had a chance to do much snowmobiling so far this year, guests staying at our MN winter resort that have been snowmobiling plus snowmobilers that stop in to quench their thirst or to enjoy some of the great food that we offer to snowmobilers, have reported that the Gunflint Trail area snowmobiling trails are in great shape.
The video shown below was shot by snowmobiling guests staying at our MN snowmobiling resort on January 27, 2010.
Minnesota ice fishing has been extremely good this year, both inside the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCAW) and on other lakes up and down the Gunflint Trail that are outside the BWCAW. In addition, with temperatures being a little warmer than normal along the Canadian / Minnesota border, ice fishing has been more bearable, resulting in most ice fishing being more productive that we normally see in the Gunflint Trail area. People are staying out on the ice longer and catching more fish than they would normally get while ice fishing during January and February. We’ve seen a lot of nice lake trout that have been taken by ice fishermen staying at our Minnesota winter resort this year.
Winter log cabin rental availability and online reservations are temporarily unavailable from the Hungry Jack Lodge website due to our winter family resort switching over to a new reservation system. Hopefully we will have the issue solved soon. Until our online reservations and availability are online again please phone in your reservations for winter cabins and winter log cabin rentals. Hungry Jack Lodge reservations can be called in toll free at: 1-800-338-1566.
Our snowmobile rentals for the Grand Marais MN and Gunflint Trail area have been flying out the door. If you or someone in your group needs a snowmobile rental for the Gunflint Trail be sure to phone Hungry Jack Lodge winter resort with your snowmobile rental reservation as soon as you know the dates that you will be on your snowmobile vacation.

People are staying out on the ice longer and catching more fish than they would normally get while ice fishing during January and February. We’ve seen a lot of nice lake trout that have been taken by ice fishermen staying at our Minnesota winter resort this year.
Winter log cabin rental availability and online reservations are temporarily unavailable from the Hungry Jack Lodge website due to our winter family resort switching over to a new reservation system. Hopefully we will have the issue solved soon. Until our online reservations and availability are online again please phone in your reservations for winter cabins and winter log cabin rentals. Hungry Jack Lodge reservations can be called in toll free at: 1-800-338-1566.
Our snowmobile rentals for the Grand Marais MN and Gunflint Trail area have been flying out the door. If you or someone in your group needs a snowmobile rental for the Gunflint Trail be sure to phone Hungry Jack Lodge winter resort with your snowmobile rental reservation as soon as you know the dates that you will be on your snowmobile vacation.

Ice fishing for trout on northern Minnesota’s Gunflint Trail has so far turned out to be one of the best in recent years. This year, all of the trout ice fishermen are being blessed with mild temperatures for a change. It is usually -20F or colder during early trout ice fishing season. Ice fishing success so far this season is generally pretty good.
Hungry Jack Lodge, located mid-trail on the Gunflint Trail, is surrounded by several lake trout lakes that seem to produce a good number of fish during the ice fishing season each year. A few of the ice fishing lakes in the area of our northern MN winter resort, that can be accessed by snowmobile are; Moss Lake, West Bearskin Lake, Birch Lake and Clearwater Lake.
ICE FISHING IN THE BWCAW
If you are feeling more adventurous and would like to hike in to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) to ice fish, our MN ice fishing and snowmobiling resort is located near the Duncan Lake and Daniels Lake entry points. These 2 lakes also produce some great fish throughout the winter months.
This morning at 7 am I went to the mail box and there were already 7 vehicles parked at the Moss Lake parking access. I think a lot of fisherman are taking advantage of these mild temps and getting out to enjoy the Minnesota northwoods. Live minnows are usually a bait of choice, however don’t forget, designated trout lakes prohibit the use of live minnows.
NORTHERN MN WINTER LOG CABINS
If you are considering coming up to the Boundary Water Canoe Area (BWCAW) or Gunflint Trail to ice fish we suggest making your reservation as soon as you can. The winter cabin rental vacancies at our MN winter resort have been very minimal and we are running close to full during recent weeks.
Due to somewhat poor snowmobiling conditions we still have some winter cabins and log cabins available for rent at our Gunflint Trail winter resort. However, once we get some heavier snows, the winter cabins available for rent at our Gunflint Trail family winter resort are sure to be filled by snowmobiliers and ice fishermen alike. Make your winter cabin rental reservations early!!

GUNFLINT TRAIL SNOW REPORT
We have close to 12” of ice on Hungry Jack Lake. I have heard reports from other area lakes that the ice has been ranging from 8”-12” pretty consistently. I know Gunflint Lake, Loon Lake, and Clearwater Lake have just recently froze and are probably not safe for travel yet. I would say that we have probably a good 6” to 8” of snow cover in total.
The biggest change is that the Loggers Lounge at Hungry Jack Lodge now is a "full service" bar ! We now have a full liquor license and are serving hard liquor. In addition, we now have 6 different tap beers. Be sure to try our Hungry Jack Logger draft beer, available exclusivly at Hungry Jack Lodge. It's turned out to be a real favorite.
Well the snow is coming slowly. We have received about 3” of fresh snow over the weekend and it is still snowing lightly. We are still in need of more snow to get the snowmobile trails open but I guess some is better than none. The lakes however have a pretty good ice cover.
