Voyageurs National Park calls to hikers, stargazers and kayakers seeking the adventurous side of travel. ("Voyageur" actually means traveler in French.)
The landscape is breathtaking here. Water makes up more than one-third of the park's 218,000 acres, and for most of the year, the park's interior is accessible only by boat. (Or by snowmobile in winter.)
Check out the stories below to learn how to rent a houseboat, take an island-hopping tour, or tackle more than 27 miles of scenic trails, hidden waterfalls and ancient petroglyphs. Be sure to browse the Voyageurs Conservancy for current park conditions and special programming.
