Did you Know?
Voyageurs National Park was named for the Voyageurs, French-
Canadian paddlers who traveled the pristine waters of the 
Minnesota border searching for the Northwest passage transporting 
trade goods and furs.  This area was first under consideration for 
becoming a National Park way back in the 1800's.
