Tuscarora Lodge and Outfitters is near the city of Grand Marais, MN, which is about two hours from Duluth, Minnesota. We are located 47 miles up the Gunflint Trail, a two lane paved road that travels through the Superior National Forest. Plan about one hour of travel time after you leave Grand Marais. Have your camera ready and drive carefully since you’ll probably come across moose, deer, bear or other critters. We are located on the west/left side of the Gunflint Trail. Turn onto County Road 47/Round Lake Road and travel one more mile. Tuscarora Lodge is the only lodge on Round Lake.
