A world-famous fishery astride the border between Canada and the US, fishing charters on Rainy Lake offer abundant offers with opportunities to catch a variety of fish such as bass, crappie, muskellunge, northern pike, smallmouth, and walleye. Interestingly, it is also an ideal destination for early spring fishing. When you are here, you must visit Voyageurs National Park, a lake-bound national park where you will find many boat tours and interpretive programs. This park is also an excellent camping and hiking site. If camping is not your cup of tea, you can just opt to stay inside a vacation rental and keep yourself comfortable. However, if you like outdoor adventures and laidback sessions at the same time, why not choose a cozy place that offers easy access to the lake and nature? Check out some of the top fishing lodges near Rainy Lake, Minnesota.
