History & Background
Voyageurs National Park, established in 1975, is named after the French-Canadian fur traders who traversed these waterways in the 18th and 19th centuries. The park's labyrinth of lakes and islands was shaped by glaciers, creating a paradise for boaters. Houseboating became popular in the mid-20th century as a way to explore the remote and rugged landscape. Today, it remains a beloved activity, offering a modern twist on the region's rich history of water travel.
