VOYAGEURS NATIONAL PARK, Minn. – Voyageurs National Park staff will begin removing hazard markers and secondary aids to navigation within the park this week, starting on Rainy Lake, then moving to the Namakan Basin, which includes Kabetogama, Namakan, and Sand Point Lakes. Weather and other variables will determine the exact days when removal occurs.In addition, Voyageurs National Park reminds visitors that hunting and trapping of any type or manner is prohibited on federal lands and all waters within the boundary of Voyageurs National Park. This includes the removal of animals that have entered the park boundary after being shot outside the park. If a wounded animal enters the park, licensed hunters must contact a law enforcement ranger for assistance in tracking and removing the animal. The phone number for the park dispatch is (440) 546-5945.
Park rangers enforce hunting and trapping laws under federal regulations. Park officials remind hunters to know where they are hunting, and to be aware of others recreating in the area. Maps showing the park boundary are located at informational kiosks throughout the park.
