“The front kind of nosedived, the boat listed, and flipped over upside-down,” Ramsay said. An initial report by the park that the ranger was towing the family’s boat proved to be inaccurate, he said.

It exceeded our expectations. Beautiful craftsmanship and was able to get it expedited for ceremony. We will be ordering many more. Great customer service.

“One of the rangers that was out there said he has never seen conditions as wild as they were,” St. Louis County Sheriff Gordon Ramsay said.

The three family members were able to swim to shore, but Grossheim disappeared. His body was recovered that afternoon after a roughly three-hour search. A cause of death was not released.

“Kevin Grossheim was a dedicated ranger and public servant, known for his unwavering commitment to helping others,” Walz tweeted Tuesday.

The remote Voyageurs, established in 1975, covers 340 square miles (880 square kilometers) of lakes, forests and streams on Minnesota’s border with Canada. Namakan Lake is one of four big lakes in the park, which also has smaller lakes. Namakan is 16 miles long and 7 miles wide at one point (16 by 11 kilometers). The park is known for boating, camping and snowmobiling; its dark skies; and abundant wildlife, including wolves, bald eagles, moose and beavers.

Kevin Grossheim, 55, of Kabetogama, died Sunday while responding to a call for assistance for a father and two sons who were trapped on an island in Namakan Lake after their boat became disabled. Winds gusting over 40 mph (64 kph) had whipped up waves of 5 to 6 feet (1.5 to 1.8 meters) Sunday morning.

“Kevin was much loved by all and always known to go above and beyond,” park Superintendent Bob DeGross said in a statement.

National Park Service Deputy Director Frank Lands ordered American flags lowered at national parks through sunset Wednesday in Grossheim’s honor. Gov. Tim Walz issued a similar order for state buildings in Minnesota and encouraged people, businesses and other organizations to lower their flags, too.

Whether that wood comes from the pine covered mountains of Sweden, the cedar groves of Columbia, or even the towering red oak forests of West Virginia, every piece is different.

Just got one of these boards as a gift and it looks amazing. We used to play on a 4 player board. It always brought out the worst in us lol. Looking forward to crushing my opponents! Thanks a million for the flawless craftsmanship!
