This historic country is wilderness still. You’ll likely see Moose, Loons, Deer, Eagles, and Wolves. The woods are still unspoiled, the lakes are still clean and cool. Our Balsam Cottage puts you right in the middle of it: Our NE Minnesota resort offers lakeside cabins, villa accommodations, and a campground. And what’s a resort without a gift shop? Find unique gifts, groceries, ice, gas, and a laundromat is just steps from our main lodge.
We provide complete and partial outfitting services from our base on Poplar Lake.
Do the words Gunflint Trail, Poplar Lake, Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW), Superior National Forest, Walleye, Lake Trout, Northern Pike and Smallmouth Bass get you pumped up for a trip? Our Nor'Wester Lodge & Canoe Outfitters is surrounded by all of it! Ask us for fishing reports and recommended professional guide services.

MaryAnn Harren — 5 star. We have been coming to the Gunflint Trail area for over 40 years. One of our favorite Lakes to canoe is Popular Lake, a beautiful lake with many islands about 30 miles from Grand Marais. We have been renting canoes from Nor'Wester Lodge. This is an excellent entry point to the lake for both day tripping or for starting a trip into the BWCA. Nor'Wester has a great variety of canoes and very friendly people who will meet your needs.
Michelle Alexander Peterson — 5 star. My husband and I along with our golden retrievers have been coming to the Gunflint Trail for more than 15 years. We have stayed at many places, but our favorite has been Nor'Wester Lodge! They have the best swimming beach of any resort and I love to swim. The cabins are all right on the water except for Balsam which is just up a short hill with a beautiful lake view.
Matt Sweetman — 5 star. I've been staying at the Nor'Wester for 17 years. Beautiful place, wonderful people. Can't wait to go back. Thanks Carl and Luana!
