Join Our Legendary Northwoods Team
Since 1925, Gunflint Lodge & Outfitters has been Minnesota's premier wilderness resort destination. Located at the end of the scenic Gunflint Trail on the shores of Gunflint Lake, we sit at the gateway to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness — one of the most pristine wilderness areas in North America. We're looking for enthusiastic team members who want to combine meaningful work with an unforgettable wilderness lifestyle.
WHAT: We're hiring for multiple seasonal and year-round positions:
• Activities Team – Lead canoe trips, coordinate guest adventures, manage outfitting operations

You'll work together with a tight-knit crew who share your love of the outdoors and hospitality. Perfect for adventurers, gap-year travelers, career hospitality professionals, and anyone seeking a new experience in a spectacular setting.
WHERE: Gunflint Lake, Minnesota — 45 miles up the Gunflint Trail from Grand Marais. Remote enough to feel like true wilderness, close enough to town for amenities. Year-round access, stunning seasons, endless recreation at your doorstep.
WHEN: Year-round positions available with flexible start dates. We hire continuously and work with your schedule.
ROOM & BOARD: On-site employee housing available in shared or private accommodations with en suite kitchen and bath. Housing is affordable and convenient — roll out of bed and you're at work (or on the lake).
