Voyageurs National Park | American Tour Association

A PLACE TO REMEMBER

Make room for the wonder.

Voyageurs is a water-centered park of lakes, islands and northern forest. A boat excursion can open up the landscape for a group, while mainland visitor areas offer an introduction without taking to the water.

BUILD YOUR OWN PARK DAY

Places to consider

01Rainy Lake area
02Kabetogama Lake
03Guided boat excursions

Choose the stops that suit your time and your party. These are ideas for exploring, rather than a fixed itinerary or a promise that every road, trail or facility will be open.

Before you set out

Book the specific water outing or camping arrangement you need. Check weather and navigation plans, and remain aware of the international boundary.

Give the day room

Allow time for the approach, parking and breaks. Pick walks for the least mobile members of your party, and leave space for weather or a change of plans.

Bring your group

Confirm vehicle access, drop-off and parking with the park. Check any guided tours, transport and accessibility arrangements before fixing the rest of the itinerary.
