Set along the shores of Lake Superior near the entrance of the campground, the Kaug Wudjoo Lodge was constructed soon after the park was established in 1945. The name, pronounced kahg-WAD'-jiw, means "place of the crouching porcupine" in Ojibwa. Set alongside towering hemlock trees, the lodge represents what the park is all about. It served as the park manager's original residence.

The lodge is a pet-friendly lodging option. For information on pet-friendly lodging options in Michigan state parks, visit Michigan.gov/ParkPets.

The lodge sleeps 12 and includes four bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen (pots, pans, dishes, stove, range, refrigerator, coffee pot, silverware, dishwasher, etc.) and a laundry room. The lodge offers all the conveniences of home in a rare, private location overlooking Lake Superior. Locally made cedar log beds, a stone fireplace and hard maple floors are all part of the charm.

Sheets and towels are provided. Free Wi-fi available in the lodge.

There is a seven-night minimum stay May 1-Nov. 30 and a four-night minimum stay Dec. 1-April 30. Please call the park at 906-885-5275 to make a reservation.
