INTERNTIONAL FALLS, MN: Voyageurs National Park staff seeks public comments regarding an Environmental Assessment to improve the facilities and add a hiking trail at the Mukooda Lake small campground in Voyageurs National Park. 

The environmental assessment evaluates the potential impacts of modifying and improving the small campground at Mukooda Lake, adding day use facilities, adding dock space, and adding a hiking trail. The existing campground is poorly designed, is threatening sensitive resources, and there are currently no hiking trails serving visitors at the eastern end of the park.

The Environmental Assessment is now available for public review and comment at the National Park Service website at (http://parkplanning.nps.gov/Mukooda). You may also call park headquarters at (218) 283-6600 to request a hard copy. You may submit comments online at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/Mukooda, email to john_s_snyder@nps.gov, or you may mail or hand-deliver comments to the Superintendent, Voyageurs National Park, 360 Highway 11 East, International Falls, MN 56649.

Comments must be postmarked or submitted by February 15, 2019. If you wish us to withhold your name and/or address or other personal identifying information, you must state this at the beginning of your comment.
