Bearskin Lodge, established in 1925, is located in the scenic wilderness area off Minnesota’s famed Gunflint Trail, near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Situated in the Superior National Forest on a BWCAW entry point lake, Bearskin is truly a secluded “wilderness lodge” – a place where guests can experience living in the northwoods, but with a few amenities. The Lodge is open all year and is a premier destination for family vacations, romantic getaways, fishing trips and especially, cross country skiing. Our 77 km of groomed ski trails are among the best in the Upper Midwest.
