If you are looking for a 'self-directed' type of vacation, this is it. Lake Gegoka offers good fishing (especially for northerns), canoeing and swimming. Our canoes, 14ft row boat and 2 person paddle boat provide a number of ways to explore the lake and are included in the rental price. The lakeside campfire ring is the perfect place to pull up a chair, make s'mores and relax at the end of the day. Lake Gegoka is a shallow lake and warms up quickly. Close by is a public swimming beach on Flathorn Lake which is much cooler. There is a very scenic hiking trail around the lake and also a public picnic area.
Lake Superior's North Shore is only about 30 minutes away and provides yet another day's activities, including the Superior Hiking Trail. Going in the other direction, Ely is also a 30 minute drive and has a variety of restaurants and shops, including two of our favorites - Piragis Northwoods Company and Lisa's 2nd Floor Book Store right above it. A visit to the International Wolf Center is a popular outing and should be on everyone's list. If you have a little more time, the Soudan Mine is a fascinating look back in time to 'hard rock' underground mining on the Range in the early 1900's.
Whatever you decide to do get out and explore or get the perfect northwoods gift or just kick back and enjoy the solitude, you will be able to do it all here.
