Trout Lake Resort is nestled in the heart of the Superior National Forest, 12 miles up the historic Gunflint Trail and then East for 4 miles on the Trout Lake Road into the seclusion of our resort. We are the only resort on the lake and take pride in operating a small, quiet, family resort deep in the northwoods where friendliness prevails.

For the Fisherman...
Trout Lake is noted for its lake, rainbow, and speckled trout fishing. No special equipment is needed for trout. The spring fishermen troll the surface for lake trout, rainbows, and speckled trout. As the water warms, the lake trout head for colder water, and trolling the deep areas of the lake produces some excellent fish. But as that same water warms, the May Flies begin to hatch (usually in mid-June). The lake then becomes desirable to all those crazy fly fishermen, and those fiesty rainbows will feed on some type of fly into late September. Trout Lake is 1 1/2 miles long and 3/4 mile wide, glacier-formed, spring-fed, crystal-clear water with spots in excess of 100 feet deep, which provides the excellent habitat for the native trout. We are the only resort on the Gunflint Trail with a trout stream just a short walk from your cabin door, one of the many excellent streams nearby that flow into Lake Superior. We maintain boats on other lakes that offer walleyes, northern, and bass. These lakes are a short driving distance from here and are easily reached with no portaging.
Bring the Family...
and find plenty to do. The daytime play area with horse shoes, volleyball and swings features a screen house where guests enjoy a friendly card or board game. Picnic tables and a chuck wagon grill are ready for your cookouts. Sit around an open fire on the cool northwoods evenings - touch the stars, perhaps get a chance to see dazzling northern lights and listen to the haunting yodel of the resident loon family. The lake is cold and clear and is excellent for swimming, snorkeling and diving during July and August.
