The Voyageurs National Park/Kabetogama region is a 4 season area with
many things to do but water is the main focus of the area!  Fish hundreds
of miles of shoreline and islands, cruise to the Kettle Falls damn or
Crane Lake for lunch, visit the Ellsworth Rock Gardens, travel up Ash River
 and view the rock cliffs on your way to Ash River Falls or take a sunset cruise!

Water-skiing, shore lunches, knee boarding, hiking or relaxing in the sun
are just a few things to do while exploring our 5 major lakes.  And keep
your eyes open for wildlife!  Deer feeding at the waters edge, soaring
bald eagles, osprey, loons, herons & ducks are common sites.  Beaver, porcupine, black bear,
moose and wolves also reside in the area.
