INFO:

You need to add Voyageurs National Park to your Minnesota bucket list. (Send to a friend you want to visit here with) 10 things you need to know about the park: 1. There are no entrance fees 2. The park is 4.5 hours from the Twin Cities 3. You can bring your own boat or rent one but note the entire park is accessible only by boat 4. The best time to visit is the fall- less crowds, littleu002Fno mosquitos but it’s a very short season so summer is a close second 5. This is one of the best places in the state to see northern lights 6. It’s home the Ellsworth Rock Garden featuring countless pieces of plant made entirely of stone that took over 20 years to build 7. This may be the most popular national park for fishing 8. You can camp on your own island, Voyageurs National Park has 147 front country, 14 backcountry and 2 primitive campsites for visitors 9. There are 27 day use sites and 7 visitor destinations that have short trails and do not include water transportation 10. I’ve said it before but it’s the best place in the state to watch sunset (see the first clip) Because of the vastness of this park, you will need to bring in and out everything you need when you’re boating. All trash, waste needs to leave with you. Fires need to be doused and wildlife’s space must be respected. Have you crossed Voyageurs off your national park bucket list yet?
