About Kabetogama, MN
 It was
1972 when I got my first look at what I consider to be one of the
prettiest “wilderness” areas on the planet; Lake Kabetogama in scenic
Voyageurs National Park. It is about as far north into the state of
Minnesota as one can get and still be in Minnesota. "Kab" is easily
accessible from the Chicago area although it was not always so. As late as
the 1950's, only a gravel road connected it with Duluth, Minnesota and
it was an all day trip from there. Read more...

The
Finest of Times
My second cup of coffee was history and I had just
finished re-covering my boat. The threat of storms again this
morning was finally going to produce some desperately needed rainfall.
This was the second driest June that I could remember in my 30-plus

Kabetogama (cont.)
 At 25,000
acres, Kabetogama -- one of a system of several connecting lakes -- is
gigantic by most standards and dotted with hundreds of beautiful islands. Oddly, it
is only one of some 30 glacier-filled rock basin lakes that fall within
the boundaries of Voyageurs National Park. With its giant and ancient
stands of pine trees, Pre-Cambrian era granite and basalt
outcroppings and breath-taking scenery and wildlife, it is
immediately both wild and serene. The park was created in 1975
and offers outstanding opportunities for fishing, camping, boating, hiking
and numerous other activities throughout the four seasons. Come visit an
area that remains essentially the same as it was when the voyageurs and
fur traders populated it hundreds of years ago.
