We checked out Rainy Lake, International Falls, and Ranier.  They are small towns up around the North side of Voyageurs and along the Canadian border.  It is all pretty developed with lots of Lodges and many private homes around the lake.  The water route of the Voyageurs is really the protected area for this National Park so that leaves the lakeshores open to private ownership.  It didn’t really feel like a Park.

We saw three fun (huge) statues:

Smoky

Vic the Voyageur

Giant Walleye
