History & Culture

The fur traders began journeying the interconnected waterways of Voyageurs National Park over 250 years ago. Now it's your turn to journey through the people, places, and stories that shaped the park as we know it today.

Nature & Science

Voyageurs is a mosaic of land and water. It's a place of transition, between land and aquatic ecosystems, between southern boreal and northern hardwood forests, and between wild and developed areas.

Education

Plan a field trip today. Or see what items we check out free of charge to classes or individuals. Can't make it to the park? We'll try to visit your school. Voyageurs provides an outstanding outdoor classroom.

Kids & Youth

Hmm. What to do today? Swim. Fish. Paddle. Play.
Or maybe join a North Canoe paddle.

How's that hot dog coming?

 

Management

Why did the park not extinguish a fire in the backcountry? How is your park able to charge fees? These are just a few of the common questions the park receives every year. The management section of our website can help you understand how and why the park makes specific decisions.

Bookstore

Jefferson National Parks Association (JNPA) partners with Voyageurs National Park to operate the three bookstores within the park for benefit of the public and the park.
