Chik Wauk Lodge

Chik Wauk Lodge, now Chik-Wauk Museum and Nature Center, is a historic building near the northern terminus of the Gunflint Trail northwest of Grand Marais, Minnesota, United States.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007, and was nominated for being "representative of the rustic, family-owned fishing resorts that flourished in the Boundary Waters region from the 1920s to the early '60s.

It was developed significantly in response to the discovery of silver near Thunder Bay, Ontario, which raised hopes of finding gold and other precious metals in the area; none of these panned out.

In 1929, in order to facilitate the construction of both Chik Wauk and the nearby Sea Gull Lodge, the Gunflint Trail was extended northwards by several miles to connect with Saganaga Lake.

Since 2010, Chik Wauk has been run as a museum and nature center, which includes historical displays and artifacts, and exhibitions about local pioneers.
