“Welcome Aboard”

Your hosts the Dougherty family say “Welcome Aboard” to a wonderful wilderness adventure. Our family has been providing guests with wonderful vacations since 1918 on famous Rainy Lake. Rainy Lake has been home to Voyageurs National Park since 1971. The Rainy Lake portion of Voyageurs National Park provides outstanding wilderness scenery, peace and tranquillity, plentiful wildlife, superior birding opportunities and truly world class fishing opportunities.
Voyageurs National Park is the only inland water-based park in the National Park System. It is located near the center of the greatest system of interconnected waterways on earth where no roads can be found.

Babe's Comments:

This is one of my favorite fishing experiences where you take a houseboat into the Voyageurs National Park, (towing your fishing boats behind) find a secluded shoreline to park and live and fish in the middle of the wilderness in total comfort and solitude. The houseboat can easily handle an entire family, even with as many kids as I have.
The fishing is really good for walleyes, Smallmouth Bass, Big Crappies and Northern Pike. There are even a few muskies around...big ones!! Several years ago special management practices were put in place by the DNR to insure the future of this fishery. The program has worked extremely well and the fishing now is even better than it was ten years ago.

The quality time spent with family, where you have no schedules, no telephone and no nintendo is special. It’s an outdoor environment 24 hours a day. Wake up to the Loons singing in the morning and watch spectacular sunsets in the evening. I would highly recommend this trip, either as a family outing or one for a bunch of hard cores. Either way, it’s a fantastic trip.

Seasons: Fall, Winter, Spring.
