Gunflint Trail Association

     What a great day for a snow day!  Bundle up the kids and take a drive up the Gunflint Trail to participate in this year's Winter Tracks Festival.  There's already an awesome snow carving by Dave Seaton at the Gunflint Overlook.

     Stop by Gunflint Lodge for a Skijoring Demonstration at 9 AM, listen to Bob Marchino talk about his Voyageur Canoe Expedition at Bearskin Lodge at 11 AM,  head to Heston’s Lodge for a sampling of pizza and an introduction to winter camping at 1 PM.

     If you feel like staying put on this snowy, windy day then be sure to tune into WTIP this evening for a live broadcast from Trail Center beginning at 5 PM.  There are plenty of other activities happening on the Gunflint Trail today and throughout the entire weekend so be sure to check out the Winter Tracks Website. 

     Plan your weekend around this year's Winter Tracks Activities; Windigo and Poplar Lake will be buzzing with activity on Saturday.  A Radar Run sponsored by Cook County Ridge Riders will begin at 11 AM.  There will also be a winter fishing seminar at 1:30 PM by local guide Vince Eckroot. 

     There will be plenty to do throughout the day at various resorts along the Trail so be sure to check the schedule for specific times and places.  Golden Eagle Lodge will present curling on the lake, Tuscarora will have a broomball game and Gunflint Pines will have a snowshoe obstacle course and snowmobile tours.

     Gunflint Lodge will also be buzzing during the daytime and well into the evening.  They are having a skijoring demonstration, a snowshoe trek, and a dog mushing seminar by local mushers Mark and Mary Black at 11 AM.  Gunflint is the place to be when the sun goes down.  They will host the evening’s activities including dinner, awards, dance and bonfire.

     Don't forget the Trout Derby on Sunday Morning; there's plenty to do besides fishing and we'd love to see you there.  Posted by Sue Prom Voyageur Canoe Outfitters and the Boundary Waters Blog
