Married on the dock.

Saturday, August 22, another couple was married at Elbow Lake Lodge.

This wedding was on our swimming beach and dock. Great food, dancing, and drinks followed.

Howling wolves, shooting stars, and calling loons.

Friday night, we crossed the lake to put the kids to bed. With no moon, the starts were brilliant. We crossed on a glassy lake, saw satellites moving through the sky, the milky way and shooting stars. When we reached the dock, we heard loons calling each other from distant bays and the faint but distinct howling of wolves behind our cabin. For 45 minutes, we could hear about a dozen wolves yipping, howling and running around. Between busy periods of howling, we would howl to the wolves and they would return with a chorus of yips, and other excited howls.

The Walleye Bite Is On.

A couple of days ago, a guest cast off of our swimming dock and landed a walleye right in front of us all. Although, we often see walleye come in we don't always think of them in our swimming area.

For a few days now, fisherman have been bringing in their daily limit of Walleye. Just last night, I was giving a tour of the lake to some friends on our pontoon boat. I threw out a jointed rapala, and even our short trip produced a number of fish including one nice northern.

Meet Lee our Manager!

Lee joined our team at Elbow Lake Lodge late last summer.

Lee was a pastor for 18 years before working for Elbow Lake Lodge. His onsite leadership has really improved our guests experience by expanding our guest services and bringing other talented staff on board.

During summer, Lee spends nearly every day on site entertaining guests and running the resort. The rest of the year, Lee coordinates our small group retreats and weddings.

Lee and his family live in Cook, just minutes from the lodge.

King of the Lode

During our last trip to the Twin Cities from Elbow Lake Lodge, we made a quick stop in Virginia to the "Mineview in the Sky." You can observe one of the old mine pits, see some of the mining equipment, and stop at their gift store.
