INTERNATIONAL FALLS, MN: The rainfall received this week over much of northern Minnesota has moderated fire danger for the short term. Rainfall amounts received across Voyageurs National Park varied from 1.5 to 2 inches. Given the rainfall amounts received, Voyageurs National Park is lifting the ban on campfires in the park effective at noon on June 30, 2023. 

Once again, visitors can have recreational fires (campfires) in designated metal fire rings. Charcoal fueled fires in metal fire rings and grills are also allowed.

Park staff would like to remind visitors that fireworks are not allowed within the park boundaries any time of the year and can cause fire danger. Thank you to all visitors for cooperating with the fire ban during the recent extreme fire danger period.
