It’s family time…the temperatures are perfect to spend the long summer days outdoors. There are countless bays and inlets tucked into the shoreline of Lake Kabetogama where you can enjoy your own private beach. Sun yourself or swim as the kids play and explore. Go tubing, fishing, picnic or join a park naturalist for some bird watching or a special nature program. View the young eaglets as they stretch and flap their wings, strengthening them for graceful flight. Huge stick nests tucked into the tall pines along the shoreline are their homes for the summer.

You may want to arrange a scenic boat trip or a shuttle service to a trailhead from your resort. Hike and explore the interior of the park or contact the National Park Service for a tour schedule. Bring family and listen to Voyageurs National Park ranger interpretive programs, given evenings at Woodenfrog State Campground.

Those dusky purple berries abound on the rocky shoreline and ridges. It’s one of the black bear’s favorite snacks, but there’s plenty to share. The sun does not set until about 10 o'clock and what sunsets! Imagine yourself enjoying the flaming reds, oranges, pinks and purples as they sink slowly into the calm lake waters accompanied by the lonely call of the loon. When the show is over, stay awake a little bit longer. You may be rewarded with an encore performance of northern lights shimmering in green tinted sheets across a star-lit sky.
