If Voyageurs National Park is on your list this summer, this blog post is the perfect place to start. Unlike most national parks, Voyageurs is primarily explored by water, making it a truly unique destination for boating, fishing, paddling, and island adventures.
With over 218,000 acres of lakes, islands, and shoreline, Voyageurs offers endless opportunities to explore, but planning ahead is key to making the most of your visit.
This guide includes:
• Where to begin your trip
• How to explore the park by boat, canoe, kayak, or water taxi
• What to know before you go, including permits and access points
• Ideas for experiencing the park from fishing and camping to simply enjoying the scenery
