Date: September 30, 2009
Contact: James Hummel, (218) 283-6650
Beginning October 3, 2009 the removal of hazard markers and regulatory buoys maintained by Voyageurs National Park will begin, as weather conditions allow.
In addition, Voyageurs National Park reminds hunters that hunting and trapping of any type or manner are prohibited on National Park lands and all waters within the boundary of the park. Park rangers enforce the hunting and trapping prohibition under Federal regulations, which carry a maximum penalty up to $10,000 and/or 6 months in jail for misdemeanor violations and $20,000 and/or 5 years in jail with forfeiture of hunting equipment for felony violations.
Although most park boundaries are not posted, it is the responsibility of the hunter to know his/her location. Maps depicting the park boundary and area information are available on visitor center bulletin boards, at park headquarters (218-283-6600), through the Rainy Lake District Ranger at 218-286-5258 or the Namakan District Ranger at 218-875-2116.
If you have any questions, please contact a park ranger in advance of your planned hunting activities near Voyageurs National Park.

Voyageurs National Park experienced a large, lightning-ignited fire on the Kabetogama Peninsula in 2004. This young eagle survived the fire and returned to its former nesting tree in time for park researchers to take this photo!
