The city of International Falls, MN is the home base for Rainy Lake and the Rainy River. 
Rainy Lake flows into the river creating the Minnesota/Ontario border.  International Falls serves
as the northern gateway to Voyageurs National Park.  Voyageurs is a motorized, multi use park and encompasses 218,000 acres of water and pine studded islands.   During “open water” season,
the park is accessible by motorboat, houseboat, canoe or kayak. During winter, visitors access
the park by snowmobile, snowshoe or cross-country ski. The Park Service also plows miles of
ice roads on parts of Rainy Lake for fishing or wildlife watching.

The city is fondly referred to as the “Icebox of the Nation” – and the winter temperatures we are famous for are responsible for creating one of the Midwest’s greatest winter playgrounds.  Winter visitors to the area enjoy world class ice fishing on Rainy Lake, snowmobiling, cross country skiing and snowshoeing.

The seasons are dramatic.  Spring, summer and autumn produce a plethora of color and recreation opportunities.  Summer temperatures are commonly in the 70’s and 80’s – and sometimes in the low 90’s.  Boating, canoeing, fishing, wildlife watching, waterskiing, picnicking and simply relaxing are our visitors favorite vacation activities.  Spring and autumn are incredible times to bird watch – as over 200 species migrate to/from our area.  Fishing is world class – anytime of year, and autumn’s landscape is simply indescribable.  Hunting for grouse, deer and bear are quite popular during the autumn season.
