Hungry Jack Lodge is adjacent to the Gunflint Trail and is the only resort on Hungry Jack Lake in the heart of the six million acre Superior National Forest.  The lake is sheltered with high wooded hills and palisades around its 8 1/2 miles of shoreline.  Activities include superb fishing, canoeing, hiking, camping and much much more.  Access to the Boundary Water Canoe Area (BWCA) can be made by canoe directly from Hungry Jack Lake with only one very short portage.  

Our Year round resort is isolated at the end of a dead end road offering the vacationer the ultimate in peace and serenity.  The surroundings are astoundingly alive and pure.  You can smell the clean air, hear the solitude, and taste the flavor of the wilderness.

The journey to the lodge is one of the most beautiful drives in the country.  The scenic route includes traveling from the North Shores of Lake Superior at Grand Marais up the Gunflint Trail, into the Sawtooth Mountains to the woods surrounding the Gunflint Trail and Hungry Jack Lodge & Campground.

Our  main  lodge  is  a  high  speed internet  wireless  "hotspot".  Hungry Jack Lodge is located on Hungry Jack Lake 2 1/2 miles off Gunflint Trail, 32 miles northwest of Grand Marais.  We are just two miles from the Canadian border and less than one mile from the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, making Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground an ideal "base" for day trips into the BWCA for those who want to experience the the Boundary Waters but do not want to give up the convenience and comfort of a northwoods resort.

Hungry Jack Lodge and Campground is owned and operated by Forrest Parson.
