Ever dreamed of waking up to eagles soaring over the lake? At Nor' Wester Lodge & Outfitters on Poplar Lake, that's just another Tuesday morning. 🦅
The Brandt family has been welcoming guests since 1931 to their spot right on the edge of the Boundary Waters. You're 30 miles up the Gunflint Trail with lakeside cabins surrounded by pines, and here's something special - they've got the only sandy beach on Poplar Lake.
And the moose? Guests keep their eyes peeled. You're in their territory here, so every paddle across the lake or hike through the Superior National Forest comes with that possibility of spotting one.
Whether you're planning a guided canoe trip into the BWCA, casting a line from your cabin's dock, or heading out to pick wild blueberries, you're in capable hands. Carl grew up on this lake, so when you need to know where the fish are biting or where to find the best berry patches, he's got the inside scoop. 🫐🎣
This is what owner-operated looks like - generations of knowing exactly how to make your Northwoods getaway unforgettable.
