Christina Hausman Rhode has been the executive director of Voyageurs National Park Association the park's non-profit partner since 2013. She has camped on all of Voyageurs' major lakes and has plenty of tips on what to see and do at the park.

Linda Pascoe is a skilled sea kayaker who travels to Voyageurs National Park at least twice each year to paddle & camp on all its lakes. She enjoys paddling MN & WI big lakes and their rivers - St. Croix is a favorite.
