Our Voyage in Voyageurs National Park
Check out my journey - along with my husband and two best friends - as we cruise the lakes and bays of the Northern Minnesota-Canada Border and Voyageur National Park on a Voyagaire Houseboat (named Rub-A-Dub). Experience the wild beauty of these waters and countless islands as we kayak, swim, explore, tube, relax, kayak some more, fish etc! (We did cliff jump as well, however I didn't capture that experience in this video - to see more, head over to Doug Michael's youtube channel!). Regardless, we had the BEST time being free in this beautiful wilderness that I had no idea would impact my soul so much! In fact, I never knew this place existed until this magical experience (and maybe you didn't either?), so take a look! Towards the last 6 minutes of the video, Namakan Lake is the main feature, and it is a piece of heaven on earth! Hope you enjoy! :-)

Snowmobiling to Crane Lake
In the winter, we take the 52 mile round trip to Crane Lake once every week or two to collect the mail. April 23rd and still plenty of ice and snow. Hope it melts soon!
Kayaking in Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota
Voyageurs National Park is located at the very top of Minnesota, right on the border of Canada. The majority of the park is only accessible by boat, so make sure to either rent a watercraft, take a guided boat tour, or bring your own kayaks or canoes. You can also rent houseboats and stay for a few days on your own little island, which would have been a blast! We think we'll put this one on our list to come back to.

Voyageurs National Park
Voyagers, Minnesota -- Touch rocks half as old as the world in a boreal forest. People come here to see the bustling wildlife, including the beavers and the dams, as well as the northern lights. The 1700's saw a growing demand for beaver furs or hats.
Voyageurs were about 150 lbs. and 5 foot 5 and they were the spine of North America's fur trade, rowing for 14-16 hours a day. Today, this national park is named after them.

Join us on our journey to all 59 National Parks in the USA at
Voyageur National Park, Northern Minnesota.
Rainy Lake has proven to us just why it was named Rainy Lake. No problem, the excursion boat was covered. We counted 7 bald eagles on the trip and two full nests on the short excursion. I'm told there are over 50 nesting eagles on the lake.

Voyageurs National Park and Yeti?
I was a little nervous out there. My hands were shaking near the end of the video....I thought I heard one behind me! April Fools Day! I actually like the view of the falls in this spot, although the water is really low this year. I got some feedback from a VIP and they mentioned the scenic videos were appreciated....so a quick video of the rapids where I was fishing and an April fools all at the same time. The video doesn't do the river justice. It really is a neat spot! Come on up to Voyageurs National Park and see for yourself.

Hiking the Vermillion Gorge 1080 | 4k | 2018 | Minnesota
Well the weather forecast was calling for rain and showers but it wasn't going to stop me from being outside and I couldn't decide what I was going to do, so figured I would head back to the Gorge where I was supposed to get some footage but somehow forgot a crucial part of equipment in the car and never got the footage I wanted.
The gorge is a 6mile hike in and out. It's hard to find it but it's located before voyageurs reservation area, into crane lake.
Bring bug spray, water, and lunch this place doesn't seem very occupied during the weekday.
Thank you for watching
****If your interested in some of my footage shoot me a time stamp and I will upload it to my pon5 account****

American National Park Voyageurs in northern Minnesota near the town of International Falls
Voyageurs National Park is an American national park in northern Minnesota near the town of International Falls established in 1975.
The park's name commemorates the voyageurs—French-Canadian fur traders who were the first European settlers to frequently travel through the area.
The park is notable for its outstanding water resources and is popular with canoeists, kayakers, other boaters, and fishermen.
The Kabetogama Peninsula, which lies entirely within the park and makes up most of its land area, is accessible only by boat.
To the east of the park lies the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
The park has several boat ramps and visitor centers on its periphery, though the main body of the park is only accessible by boat or, in the winter, by snowmobile, ski, or snowshoe.
In 2018, the park hosted 239,656 visitors.
Voyageurs National Park is located on the Canadian Shield, with the rocks averaging between 1 and 3 billion years old.
Formed during the early ages of the earth formation, the rocks of the park were compressed, and folded under tremendous pressure.
Then molten flows of lava intruded through the layers creating a mosaic of various gneiss and granites.
Over time, additional layers of sedimentary rocks developed on top, to be stripped away by the continental glaciers of the Wisconsin Glacial epoch and earlier
Most of the rocks in the park belong to the Archeon Quetico Subprovince, of the Superior Physiographic province, associated with the Kenoran Orogeny.
These consist of schists and gneisses in the west and central portion of the park, and granitic rocks of the Vermillion Granitic Complex in the east and southeast.
The Kabetogama-Kenora dike swarm follows a northwesterly trending Precambrian fault system.
The northwest corner of the park contains metamorphosed rocks of the Wabigoon subprovince, which form a northeast trending greenstone belt.
A lateral strike-slip fault separates the two subprovinces, referred to as the Rainy Lake-Seine River fault zone.
It is this northwest area of the park, on the Kabetogama peninsula, which saw a gold rush from 1893 to 1898.
The Little American Mine, on Little American Island, is one of 13 abandoned mines within park boundaries.
Terminal moraines are found in the southern portion of the park, while the northern portion contains glacially scoured lake basins, but accumulations of glacial outwash and glacial till less than 100 feet is the norm.
Lake Agassiz deposits are evident within the park, while glacial striations and glacial erratics are common.
The largest city near Voyageurs National Park is International Falls, Minnesota.
Unlike many other national parks, where the main access to the park is by motor vehicle, bicycle or foot, the primary access to Voyageurs is via water.
Many visitors travel by kayaks and canoes, while others rent houseboats or take a guided tour boat.
The park has three visitor centers for obtaining information, viewing films, and seeing exhibits about the park's geology, wildlife, plants, and history: Ash River – open seasonally, late May to late September; located on the park's southern boundary about 11 miles from U.S.
Route 53 on Saint Louis County Road 129 ; Kabetogama Lake – open seasonally, late May to late September; located in the Kabetogama community on the southwestern edge of the park about 3 miles from U.S.
Route 53 on Saint Louis County Roads 122 and 123; Rainy Lake – open all year; located 12 miles east of International Falls at the end of Koochiching County Road 96, off State Highway 11
Visitor centers The park encompasses all or part of four major lakes: Rainy Lake - 60 miles long, 929 miles of shoreline, 227,604 acres , 161 feet max depth Kabetogama Lake - 15 miles long, 78 miles of shoreline, 25,760 acres , 80 feet max depth Namakan Lake - 16 miles long, 146 miles of shoreline, 25,130 acres , 150 feet max depth Sand Point Lake - 8 miles long, 92 miles of shoreline, 5,179 acres , 184 feet max depthOf these, Namakan, Rainy and Sand Point lakes straddle the United States-Canada border.
Lake Namakan and Sand Point Lake are accessible only by boat except in the winter.
The southern boundary of the park is the northern shore of Crane Lake.
The park has many smaller lakes, especially on the Kabetogama peninsula.
The most popular of these are on the Locator Lakes trail.
Campsites are maintained by the National Park Service and are accessible only by water.
The 282 sites are classified as frontcountry or backcountry tent, houseboat, or day-use sites; all are designated by signs.
Tenters may not camp in houseboat sites or day-use sites.
Maps showing the location of these sites are available at the visitor centers.

Camp 46 Winter Ski Version: Lake Kabetogama
Twice per year, John Reamer and Brett Storrar invite friends to experience Camp 46 in Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota. A concept, not a place, Camp 46 immerses participants in nature and camaraderie for multi-day adventures in the wilderness designed to offer new experiences, explore personal frontiers and open doors for meaningful conversation outside the realm of every day life. Participants are only invited once and each expedition is an unique adventure.
In March of 2018, we were lucky enough to be the invited friend for their ski adventure around Lake Kabetogama. It wasn't easy to keep up with these guys on skis, but we did end up with this video as the result. Enjoy! #optoutside
