So, to share the bear story… It was on Wednesday evening, which at Eagle Falls Lodge equals barbecue chicken night. Most guys went back out after supper and at this point everyone had made it in for the night. It was pretty much dark out; some people were hanging out in the main lodge, and …
Cosmo resumed his post as camp defender and has already been put to the test! Last week before our guests arrived we had a visitor of sorts. Travis and I were outside the main lodge working on something in early evening. Cosmo was loungingaround as per usual when all of a sudden his ears perked …

No, the ice isn’t out yet. We were hoping to make a town run today, but a north wind has pushed the remaining ice on Red Lake to our shoreline leaving us boxed in. Hopefully tomorrow it will be out so we can get the barge out with some much needed fuel and supplies for …

Spoiler alert: There is a super cute picture of Cosmo at the end of this post. Happy Friday everyone! We are so humbled by how many returning and new guests have continued to contact us asking, begging, and PLEADING to make a reservation for 2014. Our gut reaction is to say yes, come on up! …
Hey Guys! Last weekend we were in Des Moines, IA promoting Eagle Falls Lodge at the Mid-Iowa Bass Master’s Sports Show. Right before we headed over to Iowa on Friday we booked the last available room for 2014! Can you believe it? It certainly took off some of the pressure during the show over …
We are very excited about the updated website! It will sure be nice to have blog posts and general website information all in the same place. Time seems to be moving fast here in Illinois. We got our first snow last night! The sun is back out today so it won’t be here long. I’ve …
