Hungry Jack Lodge and Resort

I stayed at Hungry Jack Lodge 7 times. It's a nice place, with several housekeeping cabins and a campground. One of these days I plan to go back there, and it could look quite different. One cabin I stayed in burned down, and they do make improvements over the years.

Hungry Jack Lake

Hungry Jack Lake is a smallmouth lake. My favorite sports fish. At some point, the DNR put an experimental limit on the lake, where you could only keep fish under 11 inches. This resulted in some monster smallmouth in the area.

It's a smallmouth lake, but I've also caught walleye, perch and sunfish. I've pretty much memorized all the structure in this lake, and could almost guarantee anyone I take there that they'd catch a fish.

The pictures here are segregated by year.

All the cabins I've stayed at in the Superior National Forest were housekeeping cabins, meaning they have a full kitchen, bedrooms, and no maid service. You're on your own for your entire stay.

I did stay in another cabin, but not only cannot I remember its name, but I believe it burned down (or at least razed) one year.
