Mukooda Lake Boat Rentals

Mukooda Lake is one one of Voyageurs' interior lakes, and it is popular for its game fish. Some local businesses rent non-motorized boats on the shores of Mukooda. Visitors who rent these vessels still need their own boat, a water taxi, or another method to cross Crane and Sand Point Lakes before they can access Mukooda Lake.

The park rents canoes and kayaks on its other interior lakes (e.g., Locator Lake, Little Shoepack Lake) through its backcountry camping program.
