LaVerendrye Provincial Park has no visitor facilities but offers fine canoe camping along its historic fur trade route. For details, contact the Ontario Provincial Parks Office in the area.
Paddlers in LaVerendrye can navigate the area with U.S. and Canadian topographical maps or with maps from W. A. Fisher Maps and Publications or McKenzie Maps.
La Verendrye follows the historic fur trade route between Grand Portage and the interior Northwest. If you only bring one book on this trip, make it Portage into the Past, written about J. Arnold Bolz’s trip through this area.
The park website boasts of LaVerendrye’s striking diabase-capped mesas. Its forests represent the same mix of boreal and transitional species that are trademarks of the border lakes–white and red pine, birch, aspen, and spruce.
Like the neighboring BWCAW and Quetico, LaVerendrye has fine fishing, especially for northern and walleye pike. Anglers fishing in Canadain waters will need a valid Ontario fishing license.
