The Gunflint Trail is a great place to visit and an even better place to live. Even if you only have a short amount of time there are things to do and beautiful places to see. There are places to paddle, hike, swim and explore around every corner of the Gunflint Trail. The beauty of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and Superior National Forest surrounds the Gunflint Trail and there are many ways to experience the greatness of the area even if you are pressed for time.
The Gunflint Trail offers both long hikes in the BWCA as well as short hikes just outside of the BWCA. Northern Light Lake Trail is only 13 miles from Grand Marais and a short 1 mile trek round trip. The view from the top of its Blueberry Hill is beautiful as is the view from the top of Honeymoon Bluff. From Honeymoon Bluff you can see the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, Hungry Jack Lake, East Bearskin, West Bearskin, watch spectacular sunsets and best of all you only have to hike about 1 1/2 miles round trip. This trail is located down the Clearwater Road about a half of an hour from Grand Marais.
Quck paddling trips can be found everywhere you look. Stop in at any of the outfitters on the Gunflint Trail or give us a call at Voyageur and we can meet you at any of the BWCA lakes. A short paddle up Larch Creek finds you in the BWCA's Larch Lake or a tow boat ride on Saganaga gives you a great idea of what the Boundary Waters is all about.
A stop at the Chik-Wauk Museum and Nature Center is also a good way to get a feel for the Gunflint Trail. Even when time is short whatever you do and wherever you go you're bound to experience the greatness of the Gunflint Trail.
