About Cruiser Lake Trail
This backcountry route is reached only by boat, with trailheads at Anderson Bay on Rainy Lake and Lost Bay on Kabetogama Lake. The path crosses a peninsula, climbs rocky cliffs and drops into remote wetlands that few visitors see. Hiking it gives a fair chance of spotting a moose, and you can reserve backcountry campsites to make it a multi-day trip.
