Winter Adventures on
Kabetogama Lake
Experience the Northwoods in Winter
Winter on Lake Kabetogama offers a completely different kind of beauty. Snow-covered forests, frozen lakes, quiet trails, crisp air, and peaceful evenings create the perfect setting for winter getaways, outdoor adventure, and cozy cabin weekends in the Northwoods.
At Mahaffey’s Moosehorn Resort, Timberwolf Cabin and Cubby Bear Cabin are available during the winter season, making Moosehorn a comfortable home base for exploring everything winter has to offer around Voyageurs National Park and the surrounding Kabetogama area.
Ice Fishing on Lake Kabetogama
Ice fishing is a longtime northern Minnesota tradition, and Lake Kabetogama offers excellent opportunities throughout the winter season.
Anglers come from all over the Midwest to fish for walleye, northern pike, perch, crappie, and more throughout the frozen waters surrounding Voyageurs National Park.
Early mornings on the ice, fish houses glowing across the lake at sunset, and quiet winter scenery all combine to create a true Northwoods experience.
