Item Description

Clearwater Lodge, the only resort on Clearwater Lake up the Gunflint Trail from Grand Marais, MN, was built in 1926 by pioneer Charlie Boostrom and is the oldest original whole-log structure in Northeast Minnesota. On the National Register of Historic Places, it has retained the look and feel of earlier times. The lounge area has a large stone fireplace surrounded by one of the finest collections of diamond willow furniture on the Gunflint Trail. The wide veranda porch enjoys a view of the majestic Palisades. As the name depicts, Clearwater is an exceptionally clear lake that is home to lake trout, smallmouth bass, loons, otters, turtles, eagles, osprey and abundant wildlife.

Whether you like to hike, fish, canoe, or just explore, you will not run out of things to do during your stay at Clearwater Historic Lodge. 

This item includes breakfast for two each morning of your stay and a one-day aluminum canoe rental.

This item also includes two passes to the Chik-Wauk Museum and Nature Center. Located at the end of the Gunflint Trail, Chik-Wauk offers a special insight into the cultural and natural history of the Gunflint Trail from prehistoric beginnings to the present. Visitors may tour exhibits depicting the early history of settlement along the Gunflint Trail, then explore a network of nature trails that crisscross the 50 acres of museum grounds. Several times a week, the museum offers presentations on a variety of subjects from geology to local wildlife. Chik-Wauk is the perfect destination for folks of all ages who wish to learn more about the special place that is the Gunflint Trail.
