INTERNATIONAL FALLS: Voyageurs National Park staff have opened Rudder Bay Houseboat site and the bay to visitors.
In 2017, park staff closed Rudder Bay and Rudder Bay Houseboat site on Kabetogama Lake due to a large floating cattail mat that was a potential hazard. To prevent the mat from creating a navigational hazard, park staff moved the mat to Rudder Bay, and enclosed the entrance of the bay with a silt barrier. Park staff have since removed that mat using aquatic vegetation harvesters and the area is now ready for use. Please use caution in and near the bay as some floating debris may still be present.
