The most water-dominated of our national parks, Voyageurs contains over 900 islands and 30 lakes in its 218,000 acres. This paradise for canoeists and kayakers is located on the Minnesota-Ontario border, just west of the famed Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Here one can paddle for a week without having to portage--or go ashore and hike over 32 miles of developed trails. In winter the roadless park opens up to nordic skiers, snowshoers, and ice fisherman.
This fully detailed guide gives complete information on how to reach and explore the park, with data on trip length, portages, paddle ratings, trail length, hiking times and campsites; and includes the park's colorful history and diverse wildlife. Follow the paths of French-Canadian voyageurs and fur traders to explore this fascinating part of our natural heritage!
