There are so many different kinds of rocks on the Sugarloaf Beach! How did they form, how did Lake Superior get here, did all these rocks come from around here, how do you know an agate when you find one, what about Thomsonite? All sorts of questions come up when you look at rocks. Margie, our Naturalist will hang out on the Sugarloaf beach every Sunday and answer questions about rocks, and periodically take interested people for an exploration of the lava flows on Sugarloaf Point. Come any time between 10 and 1. $5 per person; $10 per family.

The Gunflint Trail Historical Society likes to celebrate the opening of Chik-Wauk Museum and Nature Center that took place on July 4, 2010 every year.

This year on Sunday, July 1 the Gunflint Trail Historical Society will celebrate two new structures that have been added to the Chik-Wauk property.

It took two years, 20+ volunteer members, countless numbers of hours, to create a beautiful timber framed structure that will become Chik-Wauk’s Watercraft Exhibit Building.
In this building there will be various watercraft, motors, and artifacts that will be on display for visitors to get a glimpse of how the earlier residents of the Gunflint Trail traveled the waterways.

The second structure is an Intereptive Cabin Exhibit Building. The cabin will showcase how an earlier cabin on the Gunflint Trail might have looked.

Join us for the celebration on  to include cake and beverages.

Oh, how wonderful to be read aloud to; joins us summer Saturdays for this story hour with the Muffin Man.
