Look for sea caves and arches at the base of the cliff. In another mile, you'll come to the mouth of the Baptism River and Tettegouche State Park. Paddle into the estuary of the Baptism for an imposing view of the rugged cliffs flanking the river. Paddling northeastward again, you'll reach Shovel Point, which, like Palisade Head, is part of an ancient lava flow. Near Kennedy Brook, look for whitewashed rock, a telltale sign of breeding peregrine falcons, which nest on the cliffs.
Several resorts cater to kayakers.
With hundreds of islands, endless miles of winding shoreline, and vast stretches of water available without a portage, the big lakes of Voyageurs National Park are perfectly suited to sea kayaking. Despite their size, they are more sheltered than Superior. They have scores of developed campsites along their shores. As you paddle the shore, you may see beavers, black bears, moose, deer and eagles. At night you may hear the howls of wolves, which live in the wild, remote forest land and marshes of the Kabetogama Peninsula at the center of the park.
