My fiance and I visited Trail Center Lodge about a week ago for dinner. We bellied up to the bar on stools carved from the trunks of trees and immediately had smiles on our faces. The interior of the place has a very "log cabin" feel to it and we both appreciated the Northwoods decor. It was Saturday night and... More

What a treat. Visited the area with family. Trail center was highly recommended. So we drove up from grand marais. The atmosphere is classic, the food was wonderful. Try the open faced beef sand which. My brother raved about it. Our waitress was Sue. A 20 year veteran. Delightful. Knew her stuff and made out day

My wife and I recently stayed at the Trail Center Lodge, approximately 30 miles north of Grand Marais along the Gunflint Trail. Initially intended as a fall-color watching trip along the north shore of Lake Superior, we missed this fall's early color peak, but it still ended up a nice weekend getaway for October. The lodge is one of the... More
