I've been going to Press now for 5 years, and it really gives you the feeling of a remote fly-in…read morelake, without flying...Now, I'm not going to say it's easy to get to...north of Ignace, you do have a 10-12 mile gravel, bumpy road to take that leads you to paradise..where in the remote northwoods can you have electricity, running water, showers, microwaves...even internet access if needed. The cabins are clean and well equipped, the boats and motors if you're renting are always reliable and in great shape. The owners go out of their way to make everything they have control over, perfect for you...Now I say control over, since they can't control the fishing or the weather and both can be unpredictable up there. But fish, northern, smallmouth and walleyes can always be caught somewhere on the lake. And the lake has so many islands and bays there's always someplace to tuck in out of the wind if it really gets to blowing. The lake has decent numbers and decent quality fish. 100 fish days per boat can happen..typically, for our group 18-25 nice fish per day, per person. Always enough for a good shore lunch, and so many beautiful spots to pull up to, build a fire, and enjoy fresh caught walleye lunch.Over the years I have done many fly-in trips, drive in trips, boat in trips...but it's tough to beat Press Lake Camp. It gives you great value, great fishing, and great resort owners...tight lines

This is a water-based national park, so to fully experience this you need to be out on the water. I…read moretook two boat tours through the NPS, but many people fish or rent houseboats to experience the park. There are camp sites, but the vast majority are on islands which require watercraft to access. Kettle Falls Cruise - This takes you from Ash River Visitor Center to Kettle Falls and back. You can bring your own food for lunch on the boat (no eating or drinking other than water on the boat though) or order at the Visitor Center so you get a lunch box waiting for you at the Lodge. I opted to get a lunch box, which consisted of a dill pickle spear, a bag of potato chips, and a simple lunch meat sandwich. I normally don't like lunch meat sandwiches (especially since this was was reminiscent of primary school lunches), but eating at the historic lodge and the beautiful surroundings made this the best, most delicious sandwich in its class! If you have mobility issues, they have a golf cart you can ride to the hotel, otherwise it's a maybe 10 minute walk from the dock to hotel. Check out the dam and walk around, and then you're back on the boat for the cruise to the visitor center. Grand Tour Cruise - This departs from the Rainy Lake Visitor Center and does not have any stops. It's more for general enjoyment and wildlife viewing. I saw a lot of beautiful scenery, but not a lot of animals. It was still good though, as Joe, one the the NPS rangers, was absolutely hilarious! Both tours provided binoculars free to borrow for your enjoyment. Be sure to apply a lot of mosquito spray, as the mosquitos here are ferocious. Also consider some rain gear as it can get rainy.

We enjoyed boating in Voyageur's National Park and exploring the islands on Lake Kabetogama (200 to choose from) and the artistic Ellsworth rock sculpture garden & picnic area.
