Beautiful sunrise and sunsets with great fishing and adventures. Although be prepared for foul weather. You never know when a summer thunderstorm may be brewing
The lake was beautiful and relaxing. There was an abundance of wildlife. The fishing was great. Crane lake connects to several other lakes that you can navigate with a map showing the markers. Would recommend anyone to go to this lake that loves the outdoors.
I've been going to Crane Lake for a few years now and I recommend it to everyone I can! The view of Voyageurs National Park is phenomenal and the restaurants are fun and inviting (esp. Crane Lake Bar & Grill and Trail's End)!
My husband and I rented a houseboat just after Labor Day this year. It was our first trip on a houseboat and we LOVED it!!! We were trying to decide how to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and decided on this and boy are we happy we did. I find myself thinking back to the trip so frequently and our trip was two months ago! Can not wait to go back again next year!!!
We rented a houseboat for the first time from Voyagaire Houseboats and spent 3 days cruising the Crane, Sand Point, and Namakan Lakes. The houseboat was clean and the food provisioning was more than we would eat in twice the time. If you enjoy fishing, be sure to bring your own tackle if possible. The tackle provided by Voyagaire was adequate but not great.
wonderful trip. Voyagaire owners and employees were great, helping to load our things from the vehicle, explaining how to run the houseboat and use the maps
There are now dislikes they do a great job at customer service We left on Saturday on the way home 3 famileys are already planning for 2013
Our entire family of 12 individuals rented a houseboat with Voyagaire Lodge and Houseboats on Crane Lake. We spent three nights on the boat and had four fantastic days cruising in Voyageurs National Park. The scenery was fantastic and the weather perfect. Voyagaire staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the boat was in excellent shape. We all loved this trip and are eager to return. We highly recommend it!!
Renting the canoe was a little frustrating but in the end it was worth it. Be sure your plans are concrete. We had to change our travel dates from August to September; the reservation was made the beginning of June and changed less than a week later and we lost our money and had to pay for a new reservation. The National Parks have a third party doing reservations. To change or cancel a reservation is a rip off.
The scenery is breathtaking and pristine. We brought friends with for a boat ride, and they were awestruck!
