The "voyageurs" of fur-trading history traveled over this wide, wooded expanse of 30 lakes during the 18th and early 19th centuries.
Today, these lakes provide ample opportunity for fishing, canoeing, boating and swimming.
Facilities include visitor centers, naturalist-guided boat, canoe and hiking tours, canoe and boat rentals and outfitting services.
The park is open year-round and offers winter camping and hundreds of miles of cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling trails.
Fishing for walleye, northern pike and smallmouth bass is renowned. Muskie, perch, sauger, lake trout and crappie are also caught. Ice fishing is popular in winter.
The park has about 220 primitive boat-in campsites. Public and private campgrounds accessible by car are near the park.
There are 24 miles of maintained hiking trails, some accessible by watercraft only.
