Minnesota

Every photographer eventually builds a list of parks they have confused with each other. Voyageurs National Park and Isle Royale National Park share enough surface characteristics that the confusion is understandable and common. Both sit at the top of the Midwest. Both require a boat to access the interior. Both have the mosquitoes that the northern lake wilderness produces in June and July. Both sit under dark skies that produce the aurora photography that brings serious photographers to the upper Midwest specifically.
