Rainy Lake Visitor Center, Minnesota, United States
5.0 (16 reviews) Spent < 1 hour Ranking #3 in International Falls Bodies of Water • National Parks • Hiking Trails
Must do!
Of the 3 visitors centers in Voyageurs National Park, this one seems to have the most to offer. We intended to take a tour from Kabetogama Lake Visitor Center, but literally missed the boat because we didn't book early. Rainy Lake Visitor Center wasn't even on our to-do list, but because the next available boat tour debarked there, we made the drive. So dang glad we did. Ranger Eric was on staff in the center, & we learned a lot from him as we just chatted. Turns out, he was also our guide for our boat tour later that day. He was just dynamite! We also walked the short Ethno-botanical Garden trail, which is on-site. Don't overlook this Visitor Center! It's so worth a visit!

quick 1/2 day trip
was only able to visit a short time on 1 day in October. The ranger on duty was super helpful and knowledgeable. Spent some time looking at exhibits in the visitor center and did the Oberholtzer Trail near the center. The area is beautiful and would love to go back to spend more time not so late in the season when the boat tours are still available

Nice center for planning Voyageurs NP activies
There were many rangers here to help plan hikes, boat trips. There was a great film about the park and a history/nature museum. The dock for many boat trips is also a short walk from the Visitor Center.
