Voyageurs National Park is Minnesota’s own National Park and true to our waterfront state, it is accessible only by water. The bedrock there underlies the North American continent and is more than 2 billion years old. Voyageurs has a rich human history from Indigenous populations to fur traders to logging to tourism and has many historic sites. Ways to visit the park from water taxis to hiking into back country sites to houseboats to my favorite, kayak camping. It is a safer place than Superior for newer kayak campers and the water is warmer. Fishing is spectacular. It is designated a Dark Skies area. Meteor showers there are stunning and Northern Lights are often active. It also is a place for wildlife research from wolves to beavers. Fran L. will describe the park, its history and the range of ways that visitors can enjoy it.
