At the heart of the resort lies our waterfront marina area.  We offer half or full day rentals for fishing boats with 15hp four stroke motors,  a pontoon boat for groups of up to 12 and several canoes and kayaks.   Children can play safely in the sandy sitting area which also offers picnic tables and lounge chairs for snacking or sunning.  We'll have toddler life jackets and Tonka trucks to borrow if you don't have your own.

   Gunflint Lake is approximately 1 – 1.5 miles across and 6.5 – 7 miles long, and lies on the Border of Minnesota and Canada.  There is no motor restriction on Gunflint lake or it’s connecting waters of Magnetic Lake, Little Gunflint Lake, Little North Lake and North Lakes.  You can gain access to some of the connecting waters with a 16ft or smaller fishing boat.   Larger boats can access Gunflint and Magnetic lakes but may be limited from accessing the other lakes by the water level, depending on the time of year.  We have crystal clear waters  with a water quality that has not changed in over 300 years and water clarity of approximately 12ft.  Ice out usually occurs in early May.

      For the fishermen we offer minnows, leeches and crawlers seasonally.  We keep a wide assortment of tackle, maps and supplies in our store and Minnesota fishing licenses are available here.  Guided fishing excursions can be arranged with local area guides.  A fish cleaning shack is available for guest use.  Fishing advice and tales are free! Gunflint Lake offers some of the best Lake Trout, Small Mouth Bass and Northern fishing in the area.  Of course don’t forget the highly sought after Walleye.   They can be elusive at times but with skill and patience, Gunflint and other area lakes can offer some of the best trophy Walleye in the Midwest.  Nothing beats a fresh Walleye for the dinner table.    

     Since Gunflint lies on the Minnesota/Canada border and there is no customs station, a Remote Area Border Crossing permit (RABC or CANN Pass) is required to cross the border for any recreational purpose including fishing.  This is from Immigration Canada, and requires 4-6 weeks to process.  You may obtain a copy of the application online at RABC.  Canadian Fishing licenses are available next door.

     There is no charge for our guests to launch their boats from our waterfront or to dock along the shoreline in front of their lakefront premium campsite.  Dock space is limited and should be reserved ahead. ~ Please leave Jet Skis at home!!!~
