Greetings from Voyageurs National Park

We did a night sky watch in July, it started around 10:30PM. The Park Ranger who led this experience was great! He had a good quality “flashlight” which could point out the various stars. The location is great because there are practically no lights. He made sure everybody knew where to look and provided good knowledge about the stars and the night sky. It was a memorable experience!

Sincerely,
Robin

Voyageurs National Park

Voyageurs National Park is an oasis of interconnected waterways, ancient rock and forested lands in the heart of the continent, straddling the Canadian border. Remote and rugged, it preserves the cross-country trade route canoed centuries ago by French fur traders known as voyageurs.

State(s): Minnesota

Established: 1975

“I love the National Parks! I've been fortunate enough to visit 62 of them and I plan to visit American Samoa later this year. They are all different but they share the general experience and quality of being in nature that is largely not disturbed by humans. I love the balance between making the parks available for people and respecting the nature that lives there.”
