Clearwater Historic Lodge & Canoe Outfitters Gunflint Trail Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness BWCA Resort and Outfitter
(300)

Our historic lodge is the largest remaining whole log structure in the entire region which has been preserved and maintained over the years to retain the look and feel of a time gone by. We also have 11 great cabins that sit right on the shore’s edge of the pristine waters of Clearwater lake. We also provide outfitted canoe trips and rental gear for those wanting to paddle, camp and explore the BWCA.

Hardly anything left! Estimated ice out tomorrow or next day at latest.

With the ice pulling away from shore it's left some room for a pair of migrating Goldeneyes passing through on their way further north for the summer.
