Be a Tourist and Visit the Museum

The museum presents the area’s cultural and natural history through interpretive and interactive exhibits. Learn about the Gunflint Trail’s prehistoric beginnings and people who helped shape today’s unique, rural community, including Native Americans, voyageurs, miners, loggers, resort owners, and current residents.
Eat Like Royalty
A secluded cabin rental offers you the opportunity to bring foods you typically wouldn’t see on camping trips. Plan a menu with wine and cocktail pairings.

Spend long, lazy sunny days grilling steaks, lobsters, stuffed peppers, pork chops, desserts, etc., and sipping cocktails with sunsets.
Go Shopping in Grand Marais
Hop in the car and go shopping in Grand Marais. Stop in at the Gunflint Tavern Fine Foods & Ales to enjoy the best muscles or ahi tuna for dinner. Sit outside to enjoyed cocktails as the sun sets and changes the colors over Lake Superior. It is chef’s kiss perfection. Then head back to the cabin to play games or read listening to the loons, crickets, and frogs. Seagull Outfitters has incredibly fast internet too, so snuggling up and watch a movie if you’d like.
