CITY OF BUHL

Located high on the Laurentian Divide and midway across the historic Mesabi Iron Range, families and individuals alike will enjoy Buhl’s abundant recreational facilities and city infrastructure.  The Mesabi Trail winds through Buhl offering visitors a panoramic view of the historic Grant Iron Mine.  Along the trail is Stubler Beach, which offers a pavilion, swimming area, restrooms/changing rooms, and a fishing dock.  Stubler and Judson Pits are stocked for trout fishing and you’ll find remote portage in lakes just north of the city.  The City of Buhl also features a scenic walking trail which winds around Stubler and Judson Pits.  Burton Park features three bocce ball courts, playground equipment, a pavilion, a basketball court, restroom facilities, skateboard ramps and an 18 hole championship disc golf course at Judson Pit.  The Stubler Beach Campground offers eight rustic campsites with fire pits, elevated tent pads and a picnic area.  The Buhl Library is home to the City’s most precious artifacts.  Be sure to stop and sample Buhl’s famous water, named, “The finest drinking water in America”, which is taken from an underground glacial river 700 feet below the ground surface.  Buhl water is absolutely refreshing!  We invite you and your family to visit Buhl and find out why the Iron Range is a great way to getaway!
