The BWCAW is a (mostly) non-motorized wilderness managed by the Forest Service. Voyageurs National Park is just that, a national park under the authority of the National Park Service. It is open to motors on all its lakes, primarily the four massive lakes that comprise some 75% of the area of the Park. The big water makes it not a bad place for kayaking, but pretty poor for canoeing.
