The lakes and rivers of Voyageurs National Park. Ask someone that's been to the Voyageurs area why they go and what brings them back...many say it's the water. Not from the tap or from that plastic bottle but the lure of the lakes and rivers. The smallmouth bass that jumps beside the boat, the bear swimming between islands, the spray in your face on the boat trip home, that eagle that snatches that unbelievably snatched that fish, It gets in your blood...and your mind and your soul. It's a powerful force that will draw you back again and again.

It's the Water

Ask someone that's been to the Voyageurs area why they go and what
brings them back...many say it's the water. Not from the tap or from
that plastic bottle but the lure of the lakes and rivers. The smallmouth bass
that jumps beside the boat, the bear swimming between islands, the spray in
your face on the boat trip home, that eagle that snatches that unbelievably
snatched that fish, It gets in your blood...and your mind and your soul.
It's a powerful force that will draw you back again and again.

	The cold spring water - there when the ice starts to melt. The plants, trees, fish and people rejuvenated.
	The warm summer water that makes for good fishing, awesome house boating, water-skiing and boat rides and brings us some of the most gorgeous sunsets. Wildlife is everywhere...birds and animals enjoying the summer!
	The water in the fall cools down and reflects our beautiful autumn colors - maples and birch mixed in with the evergreens. Fishing is fantastic. A boat tour to Kettle Falls or Crane Lake is awe-inspiring.
	Winter brings us "hard water." Snowmobile the marked lake trails for miles and miles. Hit the powder in the bays. 100's of miles of land trails. Watch that wolf trot across the ice to an island, the eagles fishing in the open streams.

The waters of Voyageurs make up nearly 84,000 acres of the 218,000 park. Run from Kabetogama to Kettle Falls.
Portage into Rainy Lake there, if you like. Then to Crane Lake. Swing up to Grassy Bay on your way home and see
the cliffs - unbelievable. Back to the Ash River and up to the Falls. Stop at a resort for a great meal before heading
back to Kab to see that sunset that you've heard so much about. What a trip. And you can do this year 'round.
