Rockwood Lodge and Outfitters

About halfway up the Gunflint trail you'll find Rockwood Lodge and Outfitters perched alongside Poplar Lake. From the outfitting shack you look out across a gorgeous section on water and a lake that offers three entry points. One of which is quite accessible and two which are longer portages in to the BWCA. The Co-Owners, Carl and Mike can help you determine which one may be more suited for your trip. Don't hesitate to give them a call and ask, they are always helpful. I have been visiting Rockwood for years and each time I go, Mike and Carl keep making the experience better! Both are an absolute wealth of knowledge and their equipment is top notch. A note on that, the gear is good because the owners take the time to explain how to care for it. They take great care in everything they do

We rented a bunkhouse room as well as a canoe and some gear for our BWCAW canoe trip. The bunkhouse was just what we needed to check and re-pack our stuff before starting our paddle the next morning. I was really impressed with the website and the selection of canoes available for rent and was able to select a boat that was perfect for our needs. The staff (who are the owners) were very knowledgeable about the wilderness as well as the FS rules and Leave No Trace techniques and they provided up to date info. about our planned route. Overall a very good experience.

You must visit this awesome place on the Gunflint Trail. The guys are always friendly and ready to help with whatever you need. They provide all kinds of watercraft and camping supplies for your journey, and you can get a fishing license too! This is the third year in a row I've stopped just to print my fishing license, and find out where the best fishing spots are on Poplar Lake. :) if you're looking for an awesome place, this is it!

This was a wonderful experience for me and my significant others. We spent the long weekend chilling out, fishing, paddling, and grilling together in a mostly private cabin. Fires and grilling and board games every night was truly wonderful. Staff were amazing and helped get us on the water and a great BWCAW experience. Great time!

This is my second time up to the lodge/resort with 3 of the same friends as last year. We stayed in a different "cabin" than last time, which was a good move. We were more people last year. It was a friend reunion trip with visits to various artist settings along the super cool art crawl.
