Snowshoeing
Golden Eagle Lodge offers approximately 6km of designated snowshoe trails, all of which begin right from resort property. All snowshoe trails are pet friendly. Trails vary in difficulty level from easy, to moderate, to strenuous. Snowshoeing is not allowed on ski trails except for the Skijoring Trail, the Flour Lake lake crossing, and the lakefront section of Cabin Loop Trail, which are denoted on the map above.
The Gunflint Trail offers several other snowshoeing opportunities, many of which are hiking trails or portage trails during the summer months. Nearby Honeymoon Bluff is the closest, located only 1 mile from the resort. Try also the Caribou Rock trail, a particularly enjoyable winter trek, as one can simply walk the lakes back to the trailhead to make this normal one-way trail a complete loop. FYI, Rose Lake Falls does still flow in the winter! Further up the Gunflint, both Magnetic Rock and Centennial Trail make for fun snowshoe adventures. The BWCA is easily accessed and snowshoeing the portage trails from lake to lake is also incredibly fun!
