    Voyageurs

    National Park Minnesota

The Heart of the Continent

Voyageurs National Park lies within the heart of the North American Continent.  Here you can see and touch rocks half as old as the world, experience the life of a voyageur, immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of a boreal forest, view the dark skies, or ply the interconnected water routes.

So leave your car behind and set out on the water highways of the North Woods.

Did You Know?

An immature bald eagle perches on a branch on its former nesting tree.

Voyageurs National Park experienced a large, lightning-ignited fire on the Kabetogama Peninsula in 2004.  This young eagle survived the fire and returned to its former nesting tree in time for park researchers to take this photo!
