| Additional information |
Voyageurs National Park takes its name from the French-Canadian fur traders who paddled these waterways in birchbark canoes during the 17th and 18th centuries, moving beaver pelts south for the Hudson's Bay and North West Companies. The park itself wasn't established until 1975, making it one of the younger entries in the America the Beautiful Quarters program. Minnesota's only national park, it sits almost entirely on water — over a third of its 218,000 acres is lake surface.
This is the 46th release in the America the Beautiful series, which ran from 2010 through 2021.
