INTERNATIONAL FALLS, MN - Lake levels on the Rainy Lake Basin of Voyageurs National Park have receded to the level allowable for the lifting of the No-Wake restriction on Rainy Lake within the park, effective Friday, July 29. As a precaution and courtesy, park staff encourage all boaters to reduce their wake when traveling near any docks or infrastructure to minimize further challenges related to flood recovery. Areas of Rainy Lake outside of the park, within Koochiching County continue to have No-Wake restrictions effective through August 5.
With waters subsiding, the placement of all hazard markers throughout the Rainy Lake basin of the park has been completed.
Voyageurs National Park staff will start boat tour operations at the Kabetogama Lake Visitor Center on Sunday, July 31 to Kettle Falls and Ellsworth Rock Gardens. Please visit www.recreation.gov for reservations.
