Dog Sled Rides
Experience the adventure and excitement of riding with a real Husky dog sled team yapping and barking with the anticipation of pulling you around the bay! A local "Musher" offers his skill and expertise in taking guests for short trips across the ice and snow.  This memorable experience might be the highlight of your winter vacation.

Downhill Skiing at Ski Gull
Enjoy the Brainerd Lakes Ski Area, located only 8 miles from Cragun's! Ski Gull has a 290 foot vertical drop, 13 runs, 3 tow ropes, triple chair lift, snow making equipment, and is open mid December to mid March.  A great family slope that is safe and friendly for beginning skiers, with rental boots, poles, skiis and "Bunny Hill" instruction.  Also, snow channels have been built for snowboarding addicts.  Cragun's offers discounted ski tickets to guests at the Front Desk where you may inquire about Ski Gull operating hours and lift tickets.
Horsedrawn Trolley Ride and a Warm Campfire
Enjoy a half-hour horsedrawn "trolley" ride with the family pulled by a matched team of Clydesdales with "jingle bells".  This is cheery winter fun at it's best for all ages.  The complimentary ride encompasses the mile long Cragun's shoreline with a descriptive narration of the resort's development and history.  After your ride, warm up at our cheery campfire with a cup of hot chocolate and roast marshmallows. Available most winter Saturday afternoons.
Ice Fishing/Marina
Gull Lake is one of Minnesota's finest ice fishing lakes. Our ice fishing houses are placed at the "dropoff" in front of the resort (there's no need to go across the bay to find the "lunkers"). They feature 4 or 6 holes, heated, and equipped with lights, chairs, and "rattle reels". Our guests have caught several trophy walleye, northern and panfish. Our staff will walk or drive with you to your fish house, open holes and get you set up for a "reel" Minnesota tradition.

Jaycee's $150,000 Ice Fishing Extravaganza lodging and tickets available at Cragun's. Also be sure to check out our Ice Fishing Weekends!
