Voyageurs National Park, National park in northern Minnesota, United States.
The park spans 218,000 acres of interconnected waterways, containing four major lakes: Rainy, Kabetogama, Namakan, and Sand Point Lake.
Established in 1975, the park preserves the routes of French-Canadian fur traders who navigated these waters during the late 17th century.
Native American communities inhabited this region for 10,000 years, developing fishing practices and establishing settlements along the waterways.
Access to the park requires boats, with multiple launch points and rental services available for canoes, kayaks, and houseboats.
The park earned certification as a Dark Sky location, offering clear views of stars and frequent displays of the Northern Lights.
