Kettle Falls
In 2023 the National Park Service will be installing camper cabins in the Kettle Falls area. These cabins will provide visitors another level of opportunity to experience the woods and waters of Voyageurs. Docks, trails, and social areas will be developed for each camper cabin in the near future.

Ash River and Kabetogama Boat Ramps
The dock at the Ash River Visitor Center boat ramp will be removed and a new dock will be constructed early in the summer. The Kabetogama Lake Visitor Center boat ramp will be removed and replaced in late summer, likely between August and September. Please check www.nps.gov/voya for closures and recreation.gov to learn more about launch sites for Voyageurs boat tours.

Zebra Mussel Prevention
To prevent the spread of invasive zebra mussels in the park, vessels crossing the Kettle Falls Portage from Rainy to Namakan Lake will need to be decontaminated by trained staff. There may be delays at the portage as vessel decontamination can take 30-45 minutes. Additionally, boats may only traverse at Gold Portage traveling from Kabetogama Lake to Black Bay, Rainy Lake. These portage restrictions and decontamination stations are in response to the discovery of invasive zebra mussel larvae in Rainy Lake.
