Voyageurs National Park

Outside of International Falls, and close to the border with Canada, is Voyageurs National Park. The park is surrounded by water, including Lake Kabetogama and Rainy Lake. Voyageurs National Park boasts miles of pristine, undeveloped shoreline as well as countless small and uninhabited islands. It is the perfect place to get outdoors and explore, and even during the busiest parts of summer you can easily escape the crowds. More than 50 miles of hiking trails are a big draw, and hiking can allow you to see some of the local wildlife. The park is known for its population of Eastern Timber Wolves, and you can also spot bald eagles, otters and even the occasional moose.
