Exploring by Boat

For those who would like to go exploring or fishing on the lake by boat, Heston’s has motor boats for rent.  We supply life jackets, oars or paddles, and cushions.  If you would like to bring your own boat, we have a concrete launch, and overnight storage at our beach.  Limited dock space available at no charge.

 Visiting Canada on the north shore of Gunflint Lake requires a special permit, called the CANPASS, or Remote Area Border Crossing Permit. This must be obtained in advance.  Allow 6-8 weeks for processing.  To read more about how to get the pass, go to:  CANPASS .
