Water levels in the Rainy River watershed in far northern Minnesota continue to rise. Voyageurs National Park has extended the closure of its backcountry until June 20. Dozens of campsites are closed, and all houseboat sites and day use sites are also affected by the flooding. This is the afternoon MPR News update for Friday, May 27, 2022. Hosted by Hannah Yang. Theme music by Gary Meister.
