Voyageurs National Park

In this episode of National Park Explorer, we head to the remote waterways of northern Minnesota to explore Voyageurs National Park. Discover why this region is known as the “Boundary Waters,” how French-Canadian voyageurs once paddled these lakes in the fur trade, and what makes this park one of the most unique in the system. From houseboating and fishing to stargazing under some of the darkest skies in the country, Voyageurs offers a quieter, more immersive kind of adventure. If you’re looking to slow down and explore by paddle or motor, this episode is your guide to one of America’s most underrated national parks.
