With fall fast approaching, things can feel a little hectic at times. It might seem difficult to make time for your spouse or special someone – a romantic escape could be just what you need. The fall colors are always impressive around Rainy Lake, which makes it the perfect place to celebrate an anniversary, second honeymoon, or just a vacation with your significant other. This far north, the fall colors peak at the end of September, so now is the time to book your trip to Voyageurs National Park. Before you spend thousands on a plane ticket to a faraway destination, see what makes fall in the north woods an even better choice:
Orange leaves. Pink skies.
If you’re always caught up with work, chances are you’ve caught a few sunsets on your commute home. There’s nothing romantic about watching the sun descend while you’re stuck in traffic. Reconnect with your spouse by watching shades of orange, red, and pink ignite the western horizon from your houseboat. They will perfectly compliment the colors of the trees during the fall. You’ll swear you’re living in a painting. At Rainy Lake, you have a front-row seat to some of Minnesota’s most spectacular sunsets.
Cozy Accommodations
No matter which vessel you choose to take out during the fall, you’re sure to feel right at home. Our houseboats feature amenities like cooking areas, decks, and comfortable beds for hotel-like comfort. But unlike a hotel, you can take your accommodations wherever you please at Voyageurs National Park. Enjoy breathtaking views of the foliage, from the comfort of your houseboat. Prepare a romantic breakfast with fall colors as your backdrop. You will love the view almost as much as your company.
Memories on the Water
Nothing brings people together quite like a great day of Rainy Lake fishing. Reeling in giant walleyes is only half the fun – the breaks in the action give you a chance to reconnect with your loved one as you enjoy the stunning fall colors. If you’re a couple with a passion for fishing, fall at Rainy Lake is sure to get you both excited. It’s a great time of year to catch some big ones – so take advantage before the lake freezes over. We even offer fishing guides for anyone who wants inside information on where the fish are biting and how to catch them – as long as you don’t mind taking along a third wheel.
Privacy
We know how hard it is to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. During the fall, Voyageurs National Park feels like it’s on another planet from all of that chaos. When you navigate Rainy Lake, it’s just you, your significant other and the trees with their blazing colors. Sure, you might encounter another boat every now and then, but the people who visit this area tend to respect privacy since they’re looking for solitude as well. The loudest thing you’re likely to hear is the call of a loon or rustling fallen leaves in the distance. If you’re craving alone time with your loved one, head to a lake where you’re away from it all.
Thinking about a romantic fall escape on the lake? It’s not too late to book your houseboat while there are still openings! The Honeymooner is the perfect vessel to see fall colors on your Voyageurs National Park vacation. The boat comfortably sleeps two people and is the perfect size for a couple’s adventure.
