Sunset on Karl Lake

Boundary Waters Canoe Area

Shot from the shoreline at our campsite on Karl Lake. The ONLY campsite on the lake. Secluded and beautiful location surrounded by breathtaking scenery. 

There was a family of otters on the lake that tolerated us and a beaver would swim by each morning and slap its tail to let us know their feelings about our being in there.

When you spend everyday in a canoe under the hot sun ... eventually your sunburn starts to get sunburnt ... yet you still can't resist stopping to marvel at how beautiful the untouched land is. #adventure

We love that area, but truly the best thing was the price, I know it is off season, so it's is wasn't going to be busy. Getting that nice room for $66 a night was incredible. The room was lovely. We are retired, so during the week lower prices make us want to come back soon.

Great view and amenities. It was great to have your own condo on the lake, but so be able to go use the pool and hot tub.

The staff was great, the room and facility were very clean. Nice features in the suite like fireplace in the living room and bedroom, big soaking tub, and in-floor heat throughout are a big plus after winter hiking. Check in was a breeze and we had a nice stay. Thank you!
