Where to Find Us

National Forest Lodge is located in the Superior National Forest 7 miles north of Isabella on 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!

Suggested 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 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. Look for our sign on the left.

Alternate Route:

Take Highway 61 north from Duluth to Illgen City. Turn left on Highway 1 (just past Tettegouche State Park) and follow Highway 1 to the lodge, 7 miles north of Isabella. The lodge will be on your right. This road is very scenic but has sharp curves and is a much slower drive. 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.
