The Heart of the Continent
By Linda Tancs
Three hundred miles north of Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, a water-based national park lies at the heart of the continent. Sharing 55 miles at Minnesota’s northern edge with the Canadian border, Voyageurs National Park is named for the French-Canadian frontiersmen who traded in the northwestern United States. Some of the oldest rock formations in the world are found here, mingling with a boreal forest, bogs, swamps, rolling hills and, of course, the lakes. Its interconnected water routes are accessible via free public boat ramps. Why not consider a houseboat rental and make a holiday out of it, plying the waters as the original voyageurs did in their birch bark canoes.
