                         Located on the beautiful shores of Poplar Lake, Trail Center has been a landmark on the Gunflint Trail since 1938. Originally built as a logging camp, it is now a full service restaurant, gas station, gift store, grocery shop, information center with cabins and a small motel.

As many of the Trail Service Center hosts before us our goal remains as theirs, to welcome you and share this wonderful place called the Gunflint Trail.

In loving Memory of Hugh and Betty Hamilton. Father for his accounting skills and Mother for her amazing cooking skills, we could not have done this without them.
