The state of over one thousand lakes is called that because ninety-percent of the population live within 15 miles of a body of water. French explorers came in the sixteenth century encountered a state rich in prairies, dense forest and many waterways and lakes. Fur trading and lumbering flourished and the state was later settled by people from all parts of Europe. To the north is the city of Duluth and a wonderful region of lakes, forest and camping. Also there is Voyageurs National Park, unlike any other, because they say the best way to see it is by boat.
