Recap of 2025
 
2025 Management Updates

• Brian Harmon continues serving as Acting Superintendent following Bob DeGross’s retirement last May. Brian also leads the Natural and Cultural Resources divisions.
• Officer Jeff Quam (Crane Lake) is serving as Acting Chief of Law Enforcement following Officer Josh Wentz accepting a position at another park.
• Staffing updates:
  • One new law enforcement officer has joined the Kabetogama area
  • An additional officer is expected to join in May after completing training

 
50th Anniversary Successes

• 2025 marked the park’s 50th anniversary, celebrated through a series of well-attended events across multiple gateway communities.
• Highlights included: Museum collection tour (April), Birthday celebration at Rainy Lake Visitor Center (June), Participation in local events such as Ranier Days, International Falls 4th of July, and Home for the Holidays
• These events strengthened connections with local communities and visitors while highlighting the park’s history and significance.

 
Dark Sky Programming

• Continued collaboration with local communities on dark sky initiatives, including mayoral proclamations.
• Protecting dark skies supports both ecological health and visitor experiences. Astronomy tourism remains a strong driver of visitation to the park and surrounding communities.
• Key events included:
  • Star Parties at Rainy Lake and Kabetogama Visitor Centers (August 2025). They’ll be September 11 & 12 this year.
  • Boreal Stargazing Week (February 2024 & 2025)

 
Looking Ahead: 2026
 
Construction and Facilities Projects
Kettle Falls Electrical Line Replacement

• Replacement of approximately 13 miles of underwater high-voltage cable from Moose River to Kettle Falls. This project will replace the aging underwater high-voltage cable and transformer equipment serving the Kettle Falls district, originally installed in 1987. Key electrical components will be upgraded, and a new emergency backup generator will be installed to support critical operations. This historic hotel serves thousands of visitors annually. Upgrading the system will improve reliability and ensure continued operation.
• Timeline & Visitor Impacts
  • Work expected to start this summer through fall 2026
  • Additional on-land work anticipated in 2027
  • Current work plan and schedule (SUBJECT TO CHANGES): from Wednesday, July 8 to Saturday, July 11 starting at 7:00 AM, the Kabetogama Boat Ramp will close half of the boat launch (the north side lane) for up to 4 days while the construction barges and tugboats are being assembled. 
  • There is a chance of a 2-hour full boat launch closure when the crane will be loaded on the barge on July 10 or 11.
  • During the time of the lane closure from the night of July 7 to the 11, boats will be allowed to park overnight at the park’s south boat slips.
  • Temporary slow zones for boat traffic will be established on the lake.
• Once these dates and times are finalized, they will be shared via a press release, a Facebook post, and an alert on the park website.
• We recognize and apologize for the immense inconvenience this will cause. We appreciate the community's patience as we complete this important infrastructure improvement project.

 
Rainy Lake & Ash River Infrastructure Work

• At Rainy Lake and Ash River Infrastructure improvements for roads, parking lots, and ADA walkways are anticipated to begin in either 2026 or 2027
• Visitors may experience temporary closures and traffic delays during those times.
• Once these dates and times are finalized, they will be shared via a press release, a Facebook post, and an alert on the park website.
• Note: Kabetogama and Crane Lake Visitor Centers will not be impacted

 
 
New Campsite
This coming summer we are happy to be opening a new group site on Namakan called Convergence N73. It has hardpacked paths and was designed to be accessible - wheelchair friendly. It is the park's third group campsite. It has a comfort station, eight tent pads, eight food storage lockers, four picnic tables, and a fire ring. It has already been almost fully reserved on rec.gov throughout this summer.
 
Ongoing Work
This coming year, the Kabetogama maintenance team will continue many of their routine but important projects:

• Campsites cleaning
• Working on the Kabetogama Jetty & Mooring Basin from the Flood Damage
• Rehabilitating campsites in the Namakan District around Kabetogama, Namakan and Sand Point Lakes

 
Kettle Falls Concession Contract
The existing concession contract is expiring. Current operations will continue under the Oveson family for the 2026 season. Once the prospectus is finalized by the Washington-level departments, the park will announce it through a press release, a Facebook post, and on the website.
 
Natural Resource Management: Wetland Restoration

• Ongoing multi-year effort to restore wetland ecosystems (acres treated)
• Focus areas:
  • Removal of invasive hybrid cattails continues
    • FY26 treatment areas
  • Restoration of native plant communities, such as wild rice
• Benefits:
  • Improved habitat for native fish, birds, and wildlife
  • Enhanced overall ecosystem and fisheries health

 
Increased Boat Tours

• From Kabetogama, there will be two additional Ellsworth tours each week.
• From Ash River, there will be two additional tours to I.W. Stevens and one additional Kettle Falls tour each week.
• There continues to be strong demand for the park’s boat tours, which are frequently fully booked. Expanding the number of tours helps us better accommodate this demand and provides more visitors with the opportunity to experience our water based park's natural beauty and historical sites.

South Shore SSD – SEH plans to have an archeologist perform their review throughout the project area the week of October 6th.  This review will involve an archeological survey to review evidence of archeological sites with a site walkthrough and shovel testing if deemed necessary.  This work will take roughly 10 days to complete.
Prior to the archeological review, SEH surveyors will be present throughout the project site and will stake out features of our project design which includes grinder station locations and piping alignments throughout each individual property.  This work is anticipated to take place sometime during the week of September 29th.
SEH will also perform a wetland delineation throughout the project area from October 1st through the 3rd.  The process includes field data collection on vegetation, hydrology, and soils. 
Once the archeological review is completed, SEH will have Braun Intertec perform soil borings throughout the project area where the proposed grinder stations and treatment sites will be located.  This work is not anticipated to occur until sometime in November.
