Due to the increased popularity
of Birding and Bird Watching as a leisure activity
we have dedicated a page of our website to Birding in the
Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Gunflint
Trail areas of northern Minnesota.
This page is a work in progress. Check back soon to see how we are doing on the Birding and Bird Watching page of the Loon Lake Lodge resort website.
