Since it's establishment in 1975, Voyageurs National Park has provided unparalleled camping experiences. Over 150 sites have been created that can only be accessed from the water as no roads go to any of them. The campsites are equipped with a post to moor a boat or houseboat as well as a picnic table, privy, a fire ring and a bear-proof storage locker. There is no cost to use these campsites, however a permit is needed and can be obtained at the Rainy Lake Visitor Center. The only cost is a $10/day boat fee that goes to the park to offset maintenance costs. While many people launch their own boat, others rent one from one of the many resorts and outfitters in the area. The abundance of fish and wildlife and natural beauty are guaranteed to provide an experience that will make memories for a lifetime.

Oberholtzer Trail is an easy hike in Voyageurs National Park. This hike features sweeping scenery of the surrounding forest and wetlands. This hike starts just outside of the Rainy Lake Visitor Center. The first 1.5 miles is wheelchair accessible. In the winter this trail is tracked for snowshoeing. There is camping available in Voyageurs National Park. It is named after Ernest Oberholtzer, better known as "Ober." Ober died over 20 years ago, but his legacy lives on, not only on this trail named for him, but also in the preservation and creation of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. To quote Ober regarding the trails of the area of Voyageurs National Park,

"These trails of the north are a sermon in harmonious living. They tell not only of a race in conflict with [Western] civilization but of their whole philosophy and outlook on life. We have so much to learn from Indians and no better place to learn it today than portages worn smooth by our Indian predecessors."
-Ernest Oberholtzer (Oberholtzer Foundation, Friend of the Ojibwe

The trail is accessed from the Rainy Lake Visitors Center.
