This is World-Class cross-country skiing at its best! The nationally renowned Central Gunflint Ski Trail System, owned jointly by Golden Eagle Lodge and Bearskin Lodge, is a well-marked network of more than 70 km of trails that begin curving away into Minnesota’s beautiful Northwoods right from your cabin’s doorstep. Our trail system has been specifically built for the purpose of cross-country skiing and is tracked for both traditional and skate skiers alike. Want to ski after dark? Enjoy the romance of night skiing on Wolf Point, a 1.5 km loop beginning right at the lodge. This loop is lit 7 nights a week starting right after sunset with twinkling electric lights. The Aurora Borealis even kicks in every now and then for a dazzling late-night light show.
