Voyageurs National Park provides a wide range of activities.

The late-summer months of August and September are often the best time of year to explore the park's hiking trails. The weather is often warm and pleasant, and the biting insects have mostly gone away.

The long northern winter provides ample time for outdoor enthusiasts to ski, snowshoe, snowmobile and ice fish in the park. The Rainy Lake Visitor Center is open year round and offers cross-country ski rentals and a snowshoe loan program during the winter months. Naturalist programs are also offered during the fall, winter and spring months at the Rainy Lake Visitor Center.

Spring is a time of transition. As winter snow and ice melts, we speculate about when the lake ice will disappear, opening the way for boaters to begin exploring the interconnected waters of the park again.

Summer brings many water loving people to the park for houseboating, fishing, kayaking and canoeing the interconnected waterways here. All three visitor centers are open daily and boat tours and naturalist programs are offered throughout the summer. Canoes and rowboats are available for rent in the interior lakes through the Boats on Interior Lake Program.

Weather varies all year long.  Be prepared for sun, wind, rain, and snow.
