Item Description

At Gunflint Lodge at the end of the Gunflint Trail near Minnesota's border with Canada, a most amazing adventure awaits. Take a 2+ hour trip through the canopies of old growth white pine on the ridge behind the lodge. Sky guides lead each group from station to station, with a bit of nature and history shared at each stop. The eight zip lines of the course vary in length up to nearly 800 feet in length. Each stop has a wonderful view over miles of wilderness – the high cliffs, Lonely Lake, Gunflint Lake, the Canadian lands to the north, and the entire forested basin along the south shore of Gunflint Lake.
