Crappies in the winter---or snowshoeing. Will have to try fishing for Walleyes in the spring.
2. International Wolf Center
A Great Center--will have to come back to see the wolf puppies!
3. Northern Lights Lodge and Resort
Cabin #3 was perfect for our week long stay. Tried a sauna for the first time!
Dinner was great - had the Salmon---Lunch was a treat with a Bucky Burger and a Bloody Mary!
A fun little store in downtown Ely--rented xc skiis and hit the trails.
6. Ely Adventure Rentals
Rented two snowmobiles, hired a guide and road the trails all day--best tip: ride during the week! Had a hot trail lunch--yum! Love the Fishing Lake Loop and the Taconite Trail through Bear Head.
Visited an actual "dog yard", learned the basics of mushing and spent a day out in the woods with Jake.
