Sunset on Karl Lake

Boundary Waters Canoe Area

Shot from the shoreline at our campsite on Karl Lake. The ONLY campsite on the lake. Secluded and beautiful location surrounded by breathtaking scenery. 

There was a family of otters on the lake that tolerated us and a beaver would swim by each morning and slap its tail to let us know their feelings about our being in there.

When you spend everyday in a canoe under the hot sun ... eventually your sunburn starts to get sunburnt ... yet you still can't resist stopping to marvel at how beautiful the untouched land is. #adventure

The property is in a beautiful location. The condo we stayed in was very cold and there seemed to be an insulation problem in the entry way. There was a heater in each bedroom but the bathroom was freezing. The condo was a bit dated but had a great view of the lake.
