Gunflint Trail Association

The rainfall came and came and came during September. The total for September, recorded at Poplar Lake was 16 1/2 inches far exceeding the past ten year monthly average of three inches. The previous highest September rain was in 1998 when 5.2 inches was recorded. September 6-7 during a twelve hour period 9.9 inches of rain was received. Following this rain the Lima Grade  near the Gunflint Trail and leading to Poplar Creek Guesthouse B&B had three foot deep gullies cause by the rain run-off and at the North Brule the river over-flowed its banks flooding the road. Since then the Lima Grand has been repaired.

Lake on the Gunflint Trail are now at their highest level in years.
