Voyageurs campsite and houseboat maps

The National Park Service no longer provides free downloadable or printable maps of campsites. The waterproof National Geographic Trails Illustrated map is instead the map they recommend, and is updated every couple years as campsites are built and relocated. This is the map you need with you as you navigate to your campsite or houseboat site. It also labels visitor destinations and points of interest that make worthwhile boating journeys on their own.

This Voyageurs campsite and houseboat map used to be available for free in the park, but is now out-of-date. Be advised that not everything may be current. Click the image to view a full size map or download the PDF.

Rainy Lake trail maps

This is an Oberholtzer Trail map, which starts from the Rainy Lake Visitor Center and is great for hiking and snowshoeing. This is one of your hiking options if you don’t have a boat or water transportation.

The Ethnobotanical Garden Trail map zooms in on this short trail located between the Rainy Lake Visitor Center and boat launch. It’s easily combined with the Oberholtzer Trail for an easy nature walk.

This is a Black Bay ski and hiking trail map, showing the summer and winter trails located near the Rainy Lake Visitor Center. These are accessible via the ice road in winter and by boat in summer.

Kabetogama Lake trail maps

Here’s a detailed Ellsworth Rock Gardens map, located on Kabetogama Lake a bit northeast of the Kabetogama Visitor Center. You can take one of the park’s boat tours to visit this location.

Here is an Echo Bay trail map, showing both the hiking and ski trails near the Kabetogama Lake Visitor Center area. These trails are accessible by car during summer and winter.

Here is an Ash River trails map, including Blind Ash Bay, Sullivan Bay, and other ones near the Ash River Visitor Center. This is the quietest and least busy of the park’s three visitor centers.

Here is a map of the southern Ash River trails, including the eastern portion of the long-distance Kab-Ash Trail, the Beaver Pond Overlook, and the Sullivan Bay trail. These are en route to the Ash River Visitor Center.

This Kab-Ash Trail map was updated in 2024. Inquire at the park for current conditions, as at the time of map publication, the access point from Salmi Road was closed, reducing your options for hiking this trail.

This is a map of the Cruiser Lake trail system, accessible only by boat from both Rainy Lake and Kabetogama Lake. This will give you a much more wilderness-type experience than anything accessible by car.

The Voyageurs backcountry campsite map zooms out a bit from the Cruiser Lake map above to show other sites in the park’s interior. They can only be accessed by a boat ride and hike, and often an additional paddle.

Voyageurs lodging map

For staying overnight near Voyageurs National Park, you’ll need to find lodging in International Falls if you want a hotel. To the right you can open an Expedia interactive lodging map to see the few options in town. There aren’t as many as you might find in other national park gateway towns, but there are some nice ones; here’s a link to Expedia’s top-rated Voyageurs area lodging to compare reviews, amenities, photos, and prices.

Assorted Voyageurs maps

Here’s a snowmobile trails map, showing the trails inside Voyageurs and in the surrounding area. It was last updated in the mid-2010s, so changes may have occurred. Click the image to view a full size map or download the PDF.

This is a map of all the day use sites in Voyageurs National Park, accessible from the water on all lakes in the park. You cannot camp at these sites, but they make for great locations for a nice picnic meal.

Voyageurs science maps

Here’s a Voyageurs vegetation map, showing the location of different forest types as well as bogs, marshes, swamps, and meadows across the roadless Kabetogama Peninsula.

The geologic map of Voyageurs shows the very old geology of the park, made mostly of ancient Precambrian metamorphic rocks, which are older than even the ones at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.

Archived Voyageurs maps

As the National Park Service releases new and updated maps, I do my best to find and share them on this page. When maps are replaced by new ones, I will move the old ones down to this section here. I never delete old maps as I believe it’s important to tell the story of how national parks change over time.

Here is an old Kab-Ash Trail map from the early 2010s, showing the entire length of the trail from the Ash River area to the Kabetogama Lake Visitor Center area. This map also marks the ski routes open in winter.
