Gunflint Trail - Grand Marais - Minnesota
|
Boating A summer vacation on the Gunflint Trail almost always includes time on the water -- and in a boat. Public boat launch sites are numerous, and renting a watercraft is always an option. Spend a relaxing afternoon drifting about in a boat dangling a line in the lake, paddle a canoe or kayak for minutes or days (many entry points to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCAW) are found in the area), cruise the scenic lakes in a pontoon boat with the family, or cool off with a motor boat ride, you'll find your watercraft on the Gunflint Trail. Every resort and campground is located on a lake, and virtually all offer canoes, boats, and motors. At many resorts and some campgrounds, you can bring your own boat and dock it at or near your cabin or campsite. (Be sure to ask your host if there are motor restrictions on the lake before you head on up.) If you're interested in canoe trips, and following the waterways of the early Voyageur's through the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Canada's Quetico Provincial Park, check out the Gunflint Trail Canoe Outfitters. The DNR Lake Finder offers a series of pages that provides access to Lake Survey Reports, Lake Depth Maps, Pollution Control Agency lakes data, and Department of Health fish consumption advice for more than 4,500 lakes and rivers throughout the state. The timely "Lake Notes" section is where DNR staff post information about boat accesses, special conditions and fish inventory activities. For information go to Boating and Water Safety. |
