Hello everyone, we are gearing up for another fun filled year at Boulder Lodge. So far, this winter is looking great for winter sports! Come visit us on your sleds, we are right off trail #21 and will have a warm cozy fire waiting for you! If you are out ice fishing, snowshoeing, fat tire biking or skiing, we have a great spot to grab a bite to eat or quench your thirst!

It feels like Spring in the Northwoods. Call or email us to book your stay! All cabin rentals come with use of Kayaks, Canoes and a row boat. We also offer pontoon and fishing boat rentals. If you haven’t been out on Ghost Lake yet, you’re missing out on all it’s beauty.

Gates open at 11:30am
Live outdoor music runs from 12-10pm
Artist booths run from 12-6pm
Food and Beer Tent opens at 12pm
Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for teens, 12/under is free.
Bring your lawn chairs and cash (no ATM on site) for the outdoor food/beer tent.
No Carry-ins allowed.

The trails have suffered from the heavy wet snow, with most being impassable due to bent and broken trees and limbs across the trails. Volunteers (yes, all trail work is done by volunteers) have been working tirelessly to get the trails cleared and opened. As of right now, the vast majority of the trails are open, groomed and in excellent condition. This is only possible because of the efforts of the volunteers who have struggled through the snow to clear and open the trials! If you meet up with a groomer or volunteer, give them a hardy thumbs up, or buy them a drink. They deserve it!

Paddle North Outdoor Canoe Expo

Saturday, June 12, 2021  10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

True North Guiding and Outfitters along with Esquif Canoes is holding a free one day canoe expo here at Boulder Lodge on June 12^th.  The day will be a fun, informational, and social event that will focus on providing information about buying a canoe, canoe designs, canoe fishing , and paddle demonstrations by experts in the industry.  “We became dealers of Esquif canoes (pronounced Es-skeef, and means ‘small boat’ in French)  because they hands down have the most versatile line of canoes that fit the needs of our area.  Brenda and I guide out of the Rangeley all summer and it just might be the perfect up north cabin boat” said John Maier from True North.   “It’s just that Esquif is a small Canadian company from Quebec, and the brand doesn’t have much penetration in our area… but we are confident when people see and try these boats, they will appreciate the high quality, and how the design and construction perfectly fits the diverse needs of paddlers in northern Wisconsin”.  We will be offering an exclusive show discount for purchases and boat orders made that day.

So come on out and take the opportunity to demo a canoe or Rangeley on beautiful Ghost Lake.  Talk paddling and fishing with experts, and enjoy lunch and a cold beverage from Bent Paddle brewing, our official beer sponsor.  Bring a chair and listen to music on the deck provided by “Off the Hook”.  The lodge will be open for full bar and menu service and there will be a food special of the day.  Our event partners at this time are Quiet Lakes Improvement Association, Cable Natural History Museum, Wilderness Inquiry, and Bent Paddle Brewing. We look forward to seeing you on the 12^th!

Boulder Lodge and the Park Center are pleased to announce an upcoming virtual concert featuring Nashville recording artist Andrew Salgado. Many of you will remember him from the 2019 Northwoods Music and Art Festival here at Boulder Lodge or his performance at the Park Center. He is one hell of a musician and performer.

In these difficult times, some of us have been affected more that others. Musicians and music venues have been hit particularly hard. Musicians are self-employed and are generally not eligible for unemployment benefits. If they’re not working, they’re not able to pay their bills. The same is true for the venues that have been unable to open. The bills keep coming, but the doors are shut.

In an effort to come up with new and imaginative ways for live music and musicians to survive, this project was hatched. Proceeds from this concert will be going to the musicians and the Park Center, so please, buy a ticket, make some popcorn, and experience a virtual live concert to support arts!

Long live live music

Tickets are $12.00. To order your ticket, Click Here  Be sure to select the concert on November 13th, benefiting the Park Center.
