"Part of the waterways of Voyageurs National Park, this northern Minnesota lake is ideal for kayak or canoe camping along routes once used by French trappers and traders; it features wilderness campsites reachable only by boat, scenic spots along Lost Bay, and island clusters such as the Chief Wooden Frog Islands, with abundant shore wildlife sightings (bears, bald eagles, otters, wolves)." - Joe Yogerst Joe Yogerst Joe Yogerst is a writer, editor, and photographer with over three decades of experience covering travel.
