Voyageurs Interior Lakes
remote lakes that are trail-access only, Voyageurs National Park provides backcountry canoes and/or rowboats for a fee of $10
per canoe, per day.
The park does not provide rental
canoes or boats stationed at the visitor centers or
at park entry locations.
Visitors must bring
their own water transportation
or contact a local resort or outfitter for water
taxi service to access the trails that lead to the
backcountry
lakes where the park canoes are located.
This means you will need to have a boat of your own
to gain access to our boats.
Park canoes
are available on the following nine interior lakes:
Locator, Cranberry Creek (to
get to Locator), Quill, Ek, Cruiser, Brown,
Peary,
Little Shoepack, and Shoepack.
Park boats are
NOT available for rent at the Kabetogama, Ash River
or Rainy Lake Visitor Centers.
Reservations are
recommended, and can be made one week in advance by
phone or in person. Call the
