With snowmobile access nearby, live music, and the heartiest meals around, it’s a favorite spot for tourists and locals alike. Our seasonal sleigh rides are also a hit during the wintertime, as you can catch a warm meal in the lodge and head out for a scenic sleigh ride through the woods of the Upper Peninsula. We also offer a spacious event center for the wedding, gathering, or business meeting of your dreams. Let the crew welcome you at the Up North Lodge in Gwinn, MI, today!
