the 1790s to the 1890s. Voyageurs

National Park is Minnesota’s only

national park and its beauty and

magnificence present some of the most

spectacular vistas in the United States.

Huge granite outcroppings, sculpted

by glaciers and crowned with

evergreens, meet the lakes’ sparkling

blue water. Between the rocky bluffs,

beaches hide in secluded coves. From

breathtaking overlooks and Vermilion

Gorge, Vermilion Falls and Grassy Bay

Cliffs, you will see some of the oldest

geological formations in the nation.
