We did the norberg lake trail and I've done the blueberry lakes trail in the past as well. Definitely bring good shoes or boots for these trails. There is a fair amount of up and down throughout and lots of rocks and roots. I am excited to come back here in the future.

In our quest to visit all MN state parks, Bear Head Lake was next on our list. We stuck with the…read moreHiking Club trail or Norberg Trail. It was a three mile loop that took you past a couple of lakes. It involved walking on some uneven ground (roots and stones) but it was relatively flat and very woodsy. We visited in mid July and it was quite buggy so make sure you are covered or sprayed to minimize the bites. Minnesota parks are so beautiful. I get so worries about where I'm stepping, I sometimes forget to look up and all around to enjoy the beauty.

This was a great short hike! We did see a lot of people straying from the path...lots of trash and…read moreclothing items forgotten behind! There are a few spots where boards could be replaced along the trail - thinking about littles or those with poor balance - but all in all - great place to stop if you have time. We didn't need bug spray until we finished the hike and were back in the parking lot! (Early in July) But would suggest spraying yourself before entering. Great trail, great views, and amazing photo spots.

We saw people swimming in the water in mid-July. There were some interesting trees with exposed roots along the way. Interesting how a tree will go through anything to find ground to put its root. This was recommended to us from a ranger in the Soudan Mine park. So glad he told us about it.

There is a great viewing platform for watching bears outside the tour and they were quite active while we were there.

This was such a great stay! If you're looking for an escape from the city or just a fun, outdoorsy…read moretrip, then you've come to the right place. There's a pool (heated!), a funky sauna, boats and other water activities, and of course the lake is right outside your front door. One guy caught a truly massive muskie right from the dock. The cabin we stayed in was so lovely, too. And there's fun little towns and great hikes close by. I definitely recommend this place to anyone, especially if you want to bring your kids!

We've made Everett Bay Lodge our go-to spot when visiting Minnesota for a family and fishing…read morevacation. We've been there several times over the past 15 years and it's always been a great stay--clean, comfortable cabins with everything we need. The fishing, for the most part, is really good. (Anyone who fishes knows there are days when they're just not biting.) Lake Vermilion is huge and offers endless spots. We love having the pool to relax at after coming in from fishing. (When the kids were younger, it was a lifesaver when they couldn't handle the all-day fishing my husband planned.) The owners, Dave and Diane are great -- friendly, always welcoming and ready to help, without being pushy. For us, it's a long trip from Ohio, but we love getting away to the North Woods. Everett Bay Lodge keeps us going back.
