Voyageurs

Voyageurs National Park is located in Northern Minnesota near the Canadian border. Access to Voyageurs is available from many points along Rainy Lake, Kabetogama Lake, Ash River, Crane Lake, and Orr/Pelican Lake. The park's visitor centers and many trails can be reached by car, but much of Voyageurs is best explored by boat. All campsites in the park, except primitive, require a boat to reach.

The boat launch at Kabetogama Lake Visitor Center will be partially closed July 8–11 to deploy construction vessels. The south lane will remain open; the north lane will be closed. Delays are likely. This work, funded by the Great American Outdoors Act Legacy Restoration Fund, replaces an aging underwater powerline to the historic Kettle Falls area. Thank you for your patience during this project while we improve safety and communication reliability at one of the park’s iconic destinations.
