The Pat Roche Boat Landing is located at the Voyageurs National Park Headquarters and offers Rainy River access!
Rules for this place
The Rainy River above the dam is named in the border waters section of the Minnesota fishing regulations, which decides which license lets an angler fish which side of the line. Minnesota’s invasive species law rides home with the trailer: pull the drain plug, drain the water, and leave plants and prohibited species at the access. The Rainy River above the dam is on the DNR’s infested waters list for spiny waterflea and zebra mussel, which adds bait and water-transport rules for anyone leaving it.
