The Chippewa National Forest offers miles of hiking, skiing and snow mobile trails. There are over 1000 lakes in Itasca county alone and many more within the Chippewa. Make a point of visiting the Lost 40, about a 40 minute drive north where you can walk among 275 year old giant White and Red Pine trees.

Each year in late September and early October the National Ruffed Grouse Society holds their Annual Banquet and week long hunt in this area. We invite you to bring your dogs and stay in one of our cabins before, after or during the event.

The first three weeks of November is Deer Hunting. As we are located in the Chippewa National Forest there are thousands of acres available for you to hunt. Bring your hunting party or bring the whole family. But we ask that you have your own location to hunt in the neighboring area. It’s a great place for your non hunters to relax and read a book by the fireplace.
