Kabetogama Lake Ash River Namakan Fishing Contest. Lake Kabetogama is the gateway to Voyageurs National Park with access to Ash River, Namakan, Sand Point, Crane and Rainy Lakes plus the BWCA and Ontario's Quetico Provincial Park. Literally millions of acres of northern Minnesota and southern Ontario are at our doorstep! The communities of Lake Kabetogama and nearby Ash River offer a range of facilities including dining, resorts, houseboat rentals, campgrounds, convenience stores, fishing guides, outfitters and marinas. It is a bird and wildlife watching haven with breathtaking scenery in all of the seasons but still close enough to golfing (10 courses within a 90 mile radius), shopping and support services that we all enjoy and need in today’s world. International Falls is 30 miles to the north on U.S. Highway 53 as is Fort Francis, Ontario, Canada. Duluth, MN is 150 south. This is a four-season recreation area. The miles and miles of lakes and waterways offer world-class fishing from May-October then freeze over to welcome some of the best ice fishing around! Snowmobiling is a popular winter pastime with access to many miles of trails in both Minnesota and Ontario. Cross-country skiers and snowshoe enthusiasts may enjoy the solitude of the back country and wilderness areas.
