Day of Rental

At check-in, we will review and sign the rental contract. We will collect for the boat rental in full. We will require an ID card for each driver listed on the contract and one credit card to hold on file for possible damages. If there are no damages incurred during your rental period, the pre-authorization hold will be released, and you will not be charged.

All listed drivers must be present for boat equipment instructions on the dock. All drivers should carefully inspect the rental boat, prop, and motor prior to leaving the dock area. The primary renter will assume all responsibility for any damage incurred during use.

Rental boats are inspected and prepared with a full tank of gas at the beginning of rental. Upon return, we will help dock the boat and top off the fuel. Fuel costs, bait, and incidentals will be collected at the end of rental after final fuel fill and inspections.

On the Water

Whether you are looking for a reel good time or just a scenic ride through Voyageurs National Park, you will be out on the water early and often at Pines of Kabetogama Resort. For anglers, the options are delightful as a Friday night fish fry—walleye, small mouth bass, crappie, northern pike and more—casting or trolling. Whether you catch and release or cook up a perfect shore lunch, you will be thrilled to experience an array of fishing at its finest.

Of course, the smooth and scenic waterways provide plenty of entertainment for those who are not inclined to bait the hook. You have never truly experienced a Northwoods’ water adventure until you have seen one from a kayak or paddle board, and the miles of water trails make for a paddler’s paradise.
