Established in 1975, Minnesota’s only national park
commemorates a key stretch
of waterway canoed by 18th
century French-Canadian Voyageurs who transported
goods and furs along the international border lakes.
Modern-day “Voyageurs” still travel the waterways as the
best means of
exploring the park.
