ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Minnesota's only national park turned 50 years old Tuesday. Voyageurs National Park was created on April 8, 1975. The park preserves about 220,000 acres of lakes, islands and forest along the Canadian border near International Falls. While the park is being celebrated all this year, it's creation was not without controversy.
Barbara West served as park superintendent from 1995 to 2005. She spoke to reporter Dan Kraker about some of the issues she dealt with in her role and what she loves about Voyageurs.
