Recreation
[edit | edit source]Popular outdoor recreational activities are largely centered on the abundant lakes and rivers in the forest, such as boating, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. "Boat-in camping" (canoe camping) is possible on the popular 39,271-acre (158.92 km2) Lake Vermilion,[2] and more traditional camping is possible throughout the forest. Campsites administered by the forest are available on Namakan Lake and the 24,033-acre (97.26 km2) Kabetogama Lake,[3] which are technically located within Voyageurs National Park.
Trails are designated for hiking and snowmobiling, 12 miles (19 km) specifically for cross-country skiing and mountain biking, 3.5 miles (5.6 km) for Class I and II all-terrain vehicle use, as well as dirt biking.[4]
