A family trip into the Boundary Waters is an unforgettable adventure. It is not recommended for very young children however children of elementary school age and up will love it. An easier trip into the wilderness is to explore Voyageurs National Park. You can stay in a cabin or take the family on a houseboat vacation. Outdoor activities, camping, hiking and wildlife watching is what we do in all of our beautiful Minnesota State Parks. Learn the details of what you can enjoy with our Minnesota State Parks E-Book.
