Minnesota! The Land of 10,000 Lakes. The Land of Voyageurs National Park and the Mississippi River. Perhaps no state in the country has National Park Sites that best fit its reputation than Minnesota. From shimmering lakes to stoic rivers, The Gopher State is abound with these classic landscape features, carved and scraped out of the soil by ice ages past. But, while the scenery is undoubtedly beautiful, Minnesota's National Park Sites also carry with them tremendous historical, cultural, and recreational resources. It's rivers and lakes were vectors and vehicles for exploration, trade, discovery, and cultural cross-pollination. Join me, as we explore the National Parks... of Minnesota!
