Voyageurs Maps

The National Park service has given me access to “campsite” Maps of Minnesota’s Voyageurs National Park…



If you’ve never paddled in this region, the kayaking is unbelievable. Big lakes littered with islands…Over 1200 islands, 215 designated campsites, and basically NO Portaging…



These maps are FREE! Drop me your address, or email any questions you have.

Wade Good to hear from you.
You guys helped make our trip great! Don’t know if you seen it but Joe gave you an honorable mention in his write up in Places2Paddle.



We’ve been invited to do a slide show on our trip at a small boat show in St Louis in Feb, but I don’t think we’ll do near what you did in Madison.



I’m looking forward to making it up there again in a year or two.

Alpine Shop event?
Is this where your presentation will be? I have been trying to find out what their agenda will be put they have not made it public yet.



See you there.



Dave

Thanks Randy…
Randy,

Thanks, and yes I read the wonderful trip report you guys gave…thanks! I truely think that kayakers (and paddlers in general) don’t realize Voyageurs even exists, and that there are so many area’s to explore with all the islands and the fact of little or no portages.

When I think of your trip- I think of the winds that you encountered on Rainy. A challenging adventure to say the least!



Glad your doing a presentation…if you want some of these maps to pass out, or some slides or pictures…I can help.



Good to hear from you, and thanks for visiting us last summer.

Presentation?
Dave,

Not sure if your referring to our presentation or Randy’s???



Our company is honored to be presenting again this year at the annual “Canoecopia” in Madison, WI March 11th -13th. Great, HUGE event with all types of presentation, equipment, tours, and kayaks or canoes. By far the biggest paddling expo in the midwest.



We also have a presentation in Minneapolis for the Midwest Mountaineering Spring Expo which is April 22-24.



I give these same maps out, and talk about “good areas” for paddling, and specific kayak routes for various days (from 1 to 10 day trips).



Thanks,

Wade Watson

Dave here’s what I know
The Alpine shop show will be at Queeny Park Feb 11, 12 &13. I guess admission will be $5 like last year. I believe they open at 5:00 on Fri and 10:00 am Sat.& Sun. Anyone in the St Louis area is welcome. I’ll email the little I have on the schedule so I don’t clutter up this string.
