Vermilion GorgeHike the Historic Gorge... track wildlife... listen to loons... watcheagles.

There is a nice picnic area located at the mouth of the gorge. Letus know if you would like to use our shore lunch kit for an after-noon picnic.
The 3 mile Vermilion Gorge Trail, at a leisurely pace, can be easi-ly hiked in 3 hours. The last portion of the trail parallels theGorge – a rugged landscape of sheergranite cliffs and rock outcrops. Asyou begin this portion of the trail,notice the change in vegetation. Theground is covered with a soft, greenmoss carpet sprinkled with spearmintplants to enhance the beauty of this majestic, scenic wonder.
A breathtaking adventure you mustexperience.
Visit theVermilionFalls...marvel at the cascadingwaterfall...
A 10-minute hike on a well-maintained trail going southwestputs you at the Vermilion Falls, a cascading torrent of waterforced through a 10-foot-wide opening in the granite.
The northeast section of the trail will lead you to “The Chute,” aconstriction in the river that produces a Class III to V rapids.This is a pleasant 5-minute walk and worth the effort.
Look for wild rice beds. The shoots begin to emerge in mid-Julyand seed heads won’t develop until the first part of August.Extensive wild rice beds flourish along the Vermilion River andare harvested by humans and wildlife alike from late Augustthrough October.
There are picnic tables and fire grates at the site for a perfectafternoon adventure!

The American Plan Alternative:Tired of being at breakfast at a given time, or the fish are biting but you have to get back to camp to eat supper?Try this alternative ...Each cottage has cooking facilities. If you want to cook your own meal, you can. If you want your meals prepared,pick one of the local restaurants to eat at. Their hours are generally 6:30am until 10:00pm. You pick the time youwant to eat, and go. If you would like a courtesy shuttle by Pine Point to any of the restaurants, let us know. Allrestaurants are a short 5 minutes away by boat.
