Join Voyageurs National Park staff for an evening lantern-lit journey to experience the people and past of Voyageur country.
From 7 to 8:30 p.m. Sept. 26-28, a release said a park ranger portraying Ingvald Walter Stevens — or I.W. as he was commonly known — will lead a group of 30 adventurous souls, on this journey through the grounds of the Rainy Lake Visitor Center.
Characters representing the varied history of the park landscape will emerge from the darkness and delight the group with vignettes of their time, the release said.
Participants should meet inside the Rainy Lake Visitor Center at 6:30 p.m. for check-in and preparation. In case of inclement weather, the programs will be held inside.
Participants will use candle-lit lanterns to light the path. The ground is rocky and uneven in places and good footwear is recommended. Dress for the weather and do not bring headlamps or flashlights.
The program is free but reservations are required. Participants must be 5 years of age or older.
For reservations, call the Rainy Lake Visitor Center at 286-5258.
