This weekend the Winter tracks festival will be in full swing on the Gunflint Trail.  There are many events happening at the various participating resorts.  You can find a complete schedule of events at www.wintertracks.com   To welcome participants to the festival snow sculptures have been created at various locations along the Gunflint Trail including the Swamper lake information kiosk, Trail Center, Laurientian Divide Scenic Overlook, the old Gunflint Trail, the Gunflint Lake overlook and Magnetic rock trail head. 

Bob put his carving artistic hat on and

Created these two sculptures at the

Laurientian Divide (on Birch Lake) and

the Gunflint Lake Scenic overlook. 

Other Sculptures will be created over the weekend in more locations.  We have 2 more blocks on the lake, just waiting to reveal their identity. 

 We still have a couple cabins open, and it's a great weekend and way to experience many winter activities.  Give us a call 800-533-5814.

Lake Trout fishing has picked up on Gunflint Lake in the last week or so.  Anglers are picking up fish in the 2-5lb range fishing in 30-65 ft of water.  The lake has 18-23 inches of ice and while there are drifts, there is little slush and some guys driving trucks to there favorite spots.  Temps for this next week are going to be in the single digits to low teens.  - Bob
