In the last 24 hours alone we’ve received 1.5 inches of rain and Earl Falls was looking FINE this afternoon. This small waterfall in Larch Creek is tucked right along the Gunflint Trail, just before you get to the Seagull Guard Station. Most of the year you could drive right past and not even notice it, but it’s hard to miss right now.

Now you know about the waterfall. But do you know who Earl is? 😉

No fooling - we might have flipped the calendar to April, but it’s still winter on the Gunflint Trail. If you look closely though, you can find little harbingers of spring.

Anyone remember when “heading over to the outfitting office” looked like this at Tuscarora? This was the canoe outfitting setup circa 1978.

We can’t remember the last #fridayintroductions

We can’t remember the last #fridayintroductions we did and thought to ourselves, hey, there might be some new faces here who don’t know about Tuscarora . . . or why we’re always posing with lake trout.

We’re Ada and Andy. We’ve owned Tuscarora Lodge and Canoe Outfitters since 2015. Turns out time really does fly when you’re having fun . . . we’re about to start our seventh season as Gunflint Trail business owners!

As a full service outfitter, we’re open every day of the week from ice out until the end of September, providing guests with canoes, camping gear, bunkhouses, hot showers, all you can eat French toast, and everything else you need for exceptional Boundary Waters canoe trip adventure.

During the winter, things slow way down. We do rent out three of our six housekeeping cabins during the winter months, but we mostly help people like you plan your next canoe trip via phone or email. Oh, and we do A LOT of ice fishing . . . usually for lake trout . . . and for fun. (We don’t offer guide services.) You can check out Andy’s videos over on Youtube for some ice fishing tips and tricks. Or check out our story highlights.

The Gunflint Trail and Tuscarora isn’t a place we discovered - it’s home. Andy’s a third-generation Gunflint Trail resort owner and Ada’s grandpa was the Gunflint Trail snow plow driver for decades. If we look familiar, maybe our paths crossed at @bearskinlodge or @chikwauk in our pre-Tuscarora days.

We use Instagram to share a slice of life on the edge of the Boundary Waters. We love connecting with guests and other wilderness enthusiasts in this space. Wishing you all the most wonderful weekend!

With snow currently falling outside our window, it’s looking like our spring of deception is slipping away. But that warm weather sure got us longing for scenes like this. What’s the first thing you’re doing as soon as the lakes are liquid again?

Have you ever gotten a little lost in the woods?

Have you ever gotten a little lost in the woods?

We did on Thursday. Sure we knew where we were the whole time, but somehow what was meant to be a morning of fishing turned into a full day of adventure under the bright blue sky and by the time we were driving home, the sun was setting.

Sometimes being a little lost in the woods is a good thing.

Andy improved his position in the lake trout tourn

Andy improved his position in the lake trout tournament today with this gorgeous 30 incher. He trails Ada by a few inches, but the best trout fishing is still ahead of us as we enter March. Shout out to @mn_fontinalis for the landing assist.

Now that the subzero snap is behind us and a teeny

Now that the subzero snap is behind us and a teeny, tiny melt is starting, who’s looking forward to gathering around a campfire sometime soon? 🙋‍♀️

It truly has been a “long cold lonely winter” as we near a year of “extraordinary times.” I’ll be forever grateful that the great outdoors provides us with a safe space to reconnect and recharge. A hot dog roast and some s’mores sound pretty good right now. 🔥

Also, please share all your s’more hacks. Are you team burnt marshmallow? A fan of using fudge-striped cookies? Ever switch out the Hershey bar for a peanut butter cup?! 🍫

It was all Ada this morning, she got this beautiful 32 inch trout and followed it up with a nice 27. She is currently leading the 2020 Tuscarora lake trout tournament by 3 inches and a few pounds over Andy’s 29 inch fish from before the cold snap.

We’ve had some amazing fish photos over the years, but this one might be the most impressive. This is a brook trout!
