Flour Lake is a pristine 330-acre wilderness lake located on the Gunflint Trail in Cook County, Minnesota, approximately 30 miles north of Grand Marais and just 3 miles south of the Canadian border. Adjacent to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW), Flour Lake features dramatic rock cliffs, virgin white pines, and northern white cedars creating an untouched natural perimeter. The lake stretches nearly 3½ miles east to west and is half a mile across at its widest point, reaching depths of nearly 100 feet with average water clarity of 15 feet. With quiet bays and a couple of islands, Flour Lake offers excellent fishing opportunities and scenic beauty. Golden Eagle Lodge is the only resident on the lake and provides boat, canoe, kayak, and pontoon rentals as well as live bait and fishing information.
