Can you imagine the planning and the work to accomplish this? Shortly after, each log was labeled, deconstructed, floated up through Newton Lake to Fall Lake and put back together, like a complex jigsaw puzzle. When Congress declared “The Wilderness Act of 1964, all buildings needed to be either moved or burnt to the ground, restoring the natural wilderness. The cabins were originally built and located up on Pipestone Bay on Basswood Lake. Our cabins and lodge (with bunkhouse) have an amazing history. In addition to outfitting services, we have authentic log cabins, right on Fall Lake for non-campers to experience great fishing and conveniently explore the Ely area. Since that time, we have built an outfitting service that, we believe, is one of the best in the area.
