National Forest Lodge is located in the Superior National Forest 7 miles north of Isabella
off of
State Highway 1. The drive is approximately one and a half hours from Duluth and four hours from the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area. Once you leave the metro, there are only a handful of stop lights between you and the lodge! The lodge address is actually 9905 National
Forest Lodge Road (a green street sign marks our enterance) and is
between mile
markers 317 and 318. 
Fastest Route:
Take Highway 61 north from Duluth to Two Harbors. From Two Harbors, take County Road 2 north and follow the County Road 2 signs to Ely and Isabella (about 50 miles) until you get to
State Highway 1. Make sure you follow the signs for Lake County 2 and Ely/Isabella as you will need to take a short jog on Forest Road 11.
When you reach Highway 1, turn right going east
approximately 6 miles to the lodge. Keep an eye out for the
street sign on the left after Mile Marker 317. There
will be a row of yellow marker signs with arrows guiding
around a sharp right curve before our road.
Alternate Route:
Take Highway 61 north from Duluth about 5 miles past Silver
Bay. Right after mile marker 59 turn left on State Highway 1 (just past Tettegouche State Park) and follow Highway 1 to the lodge, 7 miles north of Isabella.
Keep an eye out for the street sign on the right after Mile
Marker 318. There will be a row of yellow marker signs
with arrows guiding around a sharp right then left curve shortly before
our road. It's also the next right immediately after the Gegoka
public boat landing turn off. This route is very scenic but has sharp curves,
so use caution. Be especially watchful for moose, which are common on this road and difficult to see at night.
Things To Remember:
Moose and deer are common so use caution, especially if traveling after dark. Road conditions are generally very good and roads are plowed frequently; however use caution when it is snowing. Cell phone coverage is spotty in this area or non-existent for some carriers.
