Why Choose a Houseboat Vacation on Rainy Lake?
Rainy Lake, spanning 73 miles, is the largest lake in Voyageurs National Park, a protected wilderness area known for its crystal-clear waters, rugged shorelines, and abundant wildlife. Unlike traditional lake vacations, houseboating lets you explore secluded coves, discover hidden beaches, and wake up to the soothing sounds of nature—all from the comfort of your floating home.
