In northern Minnesota along the United States border with Canada is a matrix of more than 900 islands, 30 lakes, and the labyrinth of narrow waterways that link them. This park is about one-third water. On the land are some of the oldest rock formations exposed anywhere in the world. Between the lakes and adjacent rock knobs and ridges are bogs, marshes, and ponds, which make up a niche for waterfowl, aquatic animals and plants that exist alongside the territorial wolf, moose, and bear. This is a tough country named for the voyagers of times past.
