Gunflint Trail: Is it a trail, a road, or a way out?

It winds through Minnesota’s wilderness from Grand Marais to the Boundary Waters, and it’s everything you need it to be:
• a canoeing getaway for your family
• a romantic cabin on a remote northern lake
• a rustic north woods retreat
Most importantly, it’s the Scenic Byway that gets you out of the house. Hit the Trail

Gunflint Trail: “Can I sleep under the stars?” vs. “Do I have to sleep on the ground?”

If you’re comfortable camping under the aurora borealis, we highly recommend it. But if it suits you better to hang out with a couple of colorful hosts at a hideaway lodge in the woods, well, you’re welcome to stay there, too. Eat and Sleep .

Gunflint Trail: Where is this moose headed, and can I go, too?

It’s a bit of a hike, but that just might be your thing. And you’ll find plenty of it. Along with canoeing in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Quetico Provincial Park, fishing, scenic drives, birding, berry picking, skiing, snowmobiling and sitting back with wildlife you’ll never see at home. Play.
