National Park Mystery Photo 12: Lots of Water Out There

Water water everywhere, and more than a drop to drink. But where is that water? And what are those islands?

The National Park System claims lots of water, and lots of islands. Some water is fresh, some salty. And some islands are tropical, while others are covered with hardwood forests. Do you know where this water, and these islands, can be found?

I will guess its Everglades National Park Florida. But thats probably to easy.

I'd say it's somewhere in Minnesota.


Initially I've been thinking along the lines of Docrep, but a bit further north. There is a similar image of Cape Canaveral National Seahore on the NPS website. But on a closer look the vegetation did not fit. Had to be far further north. My second guess was Isle Royale NP but the shape of the islands there is formed by glaciers and has a dominant direction, Apostle Islands National Lakeshore is not as small a mosaic of land and water.

My third idea was Voyageurs National Park and satellite imagery finally confirmed that one. Great picture of a stunning landscape. Thanks for sharing.


Good job of deductive reasoning and sleuthing via satellite imagery, MRC. You nailed it!


Good going MRC, but didn't Kurt require two answers for this picture? And what are those islands? Looks like I have some research to do after lunch.

Semper Fi, Doc.
