Kettle Falls Hotel






Kettle Falls Hotel is a very historic building that is on Voyager National Park property and now owned by the park.  You can only get to it by boat.  There is a water taxi service if you don't have a boat.  We took a pontoon from the resort and cruised to it.  It takes over an hour and half to get there from the resort going by pontoon.  It was a fabulous day for a boat ride --warm and sunny and the water was like glass. 

The hotel is famous for its slanted floor which you can see really well in the bar.  If you look at the bottom of the pool table you can see how the bottom is built up on one side to level it.  They sell "pink things" in the bar.  Its a pink lemonade slushy with vodka in it.  I don't know how you could get up from one of the benches on the slanted floor and have any hope of walking straight after drinking a pink thing.  We had lunch at the restaurant there -- the food is very good.  A great walleye sandwich! 

The hotel is located at the dam between Rainy Lake and Namakan Lake.  You can boat to it from either lake and if you want you can have your boat portaged over to the other lake -- for a small fee of $40 round trip.

Good Intel. Can I use your bar floor picture for a highlight reel of our recent trip there? Didn't get a good picture of floor to do it justice.
