YEAR-ROUND RECREATION

The tradition of hospitailty that started here at Nor'Wester more than 70 years ago started in a place that looks almost the same as it does today. All the things your grandparents came to see are still right here. Moose. Loons. Deer. Eagles. Wolves. The woods are still unspoiled, the lakes are still clean and cool, the big fish are still biting, and the clear skies dance with northern lights and zillions of stars.

Spring, Summer, & Fall Fun

Head off to any of the numerous nearby trails for hiking, mountain biking, wildlife spotting, birding, and berry picking. Our waterfront is well equipped for your every favorite at-the-lake activity. Take out a boat with a motor and explore Poplar Lake. Fish for walleye, northern, smallmouth bass, and crappie. If you like, check the action at a nearby trout lake. Cool off with some exciting waterskiing. Or, get in a canoe and paddle around Poplar Lake or into the Boundary Waters for a day of paddling and fishing. Kids love the paddleboat, and the pontoon is perfect for a group, and a memorable sunset ride.

In the fall, explore the back roads, where brilliant reds and yellows offer picturesque photos to treasure. There's good hunting in these woods, too.

Winter Fun in the Woods

In the winter, you couldn't find a better spot for snowmobiling. The snowmobile trails in the Gunflint area traverse some of the most spectacular woods in this part of the country. We have a vast system of local trails that connect to the state trails - you could ride for days, and you still wouldn't see many other people. But you might see wolves, deer, moose or their tracks. It's a wild place here, and it's easy to get the feeling that you have the place to yourself.
