4 Night Super Family Package in a Canoer Cabin

Available from June 1 to Labor Day

You and your family are invited to enjoy all the activities around the lodge, including all the nature programs, while roughing it a bit around the edges by staying in one of our canoer cabins.  Your beds will be made up before your arrival along with daily towel service.  All your meals are in the lodge Bistro or Justine’s Fine Dining.  Depending on your preferences and the ages of your children, they are welcome to eat in the Bistro while mom and dad eat in Justine’s.  The naturalists usually offer 4 to 5 activities every day that range from woods hikes to boat or canoe trips to animal searches, etc.  On top of all that you also have a boat and motor every day and a 1 hour horseback ride (every day if you choose).

Includes: 4 nights accommodations in a canoer cabin with linens, meals at the lodge, boat, motor, canoes, kayaks, the entire nature program, and a 1 hour horseback ride per person per day. Horseback riders must be a minimum of 7 years old and not over 240#.

5 Night Beginners Family Canoe Trip

We also call this our Rustic Plush Trip
Combining the canoe country with the comforts of the resort

Your first night is in a rustic cabin, then 2 nights/3 days camping out, and then 2 nights in a modern lodge cabin at the end of your trip

Available all summer

This is a great trip for the family who wants to try a wilderness trip but would still like some of the amenities and comforts around the edges.  You spend your first night with us in a private rustic canoer cabin with meals at the main lodge Bistro.  After you pack your personal clothes and go through our trip briefing, we take you to a nearby canoe landing and set you in for your 3 day canoe trip.  You have an easy route with modest paddling and portaging as you go into the wilderness, spending both your nights at the same campsite.  The next day gives you a nice day to explore, fish and work on your camping skills.  On your third day you paddle back out where we pick you up and bring you back to Gunflint so you can get checked into a modern cabin with all the luxuries—bathrooms with great hot showers, luxurious beds, a nice living room with fireplace, etc. You have your last two nights in this cabin, and you can enjoy our naturalist program, go horseback riding, or relax as you wish.

Includes: Overnight accommodations in a bunkhouse before your canoe trip and 2 nights in a modern cabin at the end of your canoe trip, 2 nights/3 days of complete outfitting, transportation to and from your canoe landing, all maps, a one hour horseback ride per person, all meals (breakfasts, lunches and dinners) in the lodge Bistro, showers and a complete route briefing. Horseback riders must be a minimum of 7 years of age and weigh less than 240 pounds.

Our summer naturalist program has always been a big part of what makes Gunflint special. We know what a treasure we have here in our woods, waters, and wildlife, and we make it a point to give our guests an opportunity to experience some of these wonders firsthand. Guided hikes and excursions to places of exceptional scenery, historical significance, and areas known to be productive habitat for wildlife are among the many activities offered daily on a rotating basis. Most are designed for "kids" of all ages, but we have a few that are specifically designed with children in mind.

Activities are offered June 1st - September 2nd. Each week's schedule includes a variety of these activities.
