Cove Point Lodge on Lake Superior

Moose, Ice, Wolf, Waves--And A Very Early Spring

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 12:07:00 GMT

Twin baby moose, no ice this winter on Lake Superior, and an early spring are all creating an exciting time on the North Shore.

It has been a strange time up on the North Shore. We have not seen any ice on Lake Superior this winter, Spring arrived on about April 29 and we have been in the 40 degree range since that time.

Starting to see snow, and lots of waves.

Just in time for the holidays we are getting some snow. And the waves are crashing as we begin to see ice formations on the rock out on our point.

It would be great to sit in a cottage, by the fire, and watch the waves, ice and snow............and then take a snow shoe trip through our trails located adjacent to the lodge.

View Lake Superior Wave Forecast--Awesome

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:28:00 GMT

Now, for the first time, you can see a forecast for waves on Lake Superior. The forecast goes out several days and it shows waves throughout the entire lake. When the waves are at the 2 foot level, the waves roll nicely on the point. At the 3 foot level the waves start to boom and crash. Notice that the color chart on the map is up to 18 feet high!!!

Crunch and Crash

It’s that time of the year. The crunch of the leafs under foot and the crash of the waves out on the point. The air is fresh and it we can begin to feel the cool breezes moving in.

What does Texas, Colorado, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois and the country of Jordan have in Common?

Smore’s! A few nights ago we had an interesting crowd at the campfire. The people from Texas were here to escape the heat in the deep South, the couple from Colorado were here on a honeymoon, and most others were regulars. Except for the people from the Middle Eastern country of Jordan.

Adventure Time On The North Shore....But Also Time To Sit Back And Relax

Summer is up and running…….and walking and biking and paddling….. on the North Shore. The beauty of the Lake stays the same, but other things change.

It's May And The Phones Are Ringing

It’s May and the phones are ringing. After a tough fall and long winter, our guests are coming back! And we are ready.

The Crossings Pub has a new feel with an incredible floor to ceiling painting that we think our guests will love The Crossings will now have a more comfortable feel and some artwork that will interest everybody.

THE RIVERS ARE RUSHING

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 19:47:00 GMT

Eighteen inches of snow last week, and a spring rush of water this week. That is the North Shore-unpredictable.

Just last week we had 18 inches of snow. But it is now melted along the shore, while up in the highlands and in the woods, we still have some snow. The result? Wild rivers. Water is running to Lake Superior from every direction and from every river, brook, stream and creek.
