Minnesota’s only national park is ideally positioned for auroras, which can occur as often as 200 nights per year.
Around the same time, loggers and gold miners succeeded the long-gone voyageurs. When the short-lived mining boom ended, resident miners, prospectors, saloonkeepers and shopkeepers, and other gold rushers abandoned Rainy Lake City only years after the city had been established in the northwoods. Nearly 200 people had once lived in this wet-weather place but years later, tourists would continue to visit the silent, once bustling ghost town.

Meanwhile, logging companies flourished. Trees fell and dams were built to provide a constant water supply for the sawmills taking down the dense pine forest. Logging ended in 1940 as the trees were all cut down, but longtime resorts and commercial fishing operations continued their operations amid a barren landscape of pine stumps, slowly growing over with new forests.
Decades later, the Park Service bought out most properties, although over a thousand private acres remain within Voyageurs’s boundaries. The Park Service now maintains the dams and more than 50 fishing camps and historic buildings, including the Rainy Lake City saloon. Free of intrusive roadways, Voyageurs’ campsites are accessible only by boats and are thus popular with anglers, paddlers, and motorboaters. The inner lakes are closed to private watercraft to prevent the spread of invasive species, but the Park Service provides boat tours and rental boats. Fishermen—like the ospreys, bald eagles, merlins, great blue herons, loons, cormorants, pelicans, and otters found in the park—chase abundant fish.
