Burntside Lodge & Lake, Ely, Minnesota, Boundary Waters Canoe Area

One of America's most historic lodges. The Lodge is stunningly located on Burntside Lake with cozy cabins dating from 1913-1950s. Burntside Lake is fantastic for canoeing, fishing and swimming. Located just outside Ely, Minnesota - the gateway to Boundary Waters Canoe Area.

I took my younger self, younger bride and young children there in '92. We stayed at the water cabin farthest east of the lodge - (02:20 on left) and also rented the speedboat for the week. It was awesome. As I recall - mind you, this is 28 years ago, the owner's name was Ray LaMontagne. pronounced La-Montaine

I went there as a a child\teenager and it was owned by a family as it was called Moat's Resort, it was so cool. On the weekend's they had a sauna house it got so hot and when you couldn't take it anymore you ran off the pier into the lake. My dad would fish and we would go wild blueberry picking, we would bring home frozen fish and berries, so good. We packed everything to stay in the cabins and as a teen by the time we went home my acne had all but cleared up. God I MISS THAT PLACE AND THE MEMORIES! IF ANYONE REMEMBERS MOAT'S RESORT LET ME KNOW!

The singing should not have been here. The loons, the water ripples the evening sounds of the north were overcome by the guitar and the voice

[@jeffwilson8702]

I agree! Nice video, but these days everybody thinks they have to have music in their videos. You I go here every year to enjoy quiet and a few nature sounds. You can't even pump gas without someone assaulting your ears with music.

[@judithlorrig1421]

Agree, guitar and voice just distract and interfere with the wondrous sounds of nature

[@mattd.7721]

anyone recognize the name Mike Kehoe or Rosemary Kehoe?

[@jaymeleon2245]

Where would this Keyhoe family be from ? I have been in bwca with the explorer scout post 37 from Rockford il with a few Keyhoes back in the day. Any relationship?
