Paddling near Kabetogama, MN

Kabetogama sits on the shore of Lake Kabetogama in northern Minnesota's Koochiching and St. Louis counties, at the heart of Voyageurs National Park. More than 40 percent of the park's 218,000 acres is water, with four large interconnected lakes stretching 56 miles along the Canadian border and a network of interior lakes tucked into the Kabetogama Peninsula. Kayakers, canoeists, and SUP paddlers have 655 miles of undeveloped shoreline, roughly 500 granite islands, and 150 water-access campsites to work with — all within one of the least-visited national parks in the Lower 48.
