From BWCAWiki:
"The Ham Lake Fire was a forest fire that burned in May 2007 on the western end of the Gunflint Trail. The fire started on Ham Lake and quickly spread northwest to Round Lake and then turned north and burned across the end of the Gunflint Trail. By the time it was contained, the fire had burned 36,443 acres in the United States and more than 75,000 acres in total, making it the largest forest fire in the region in at least a century."
