Visitor Center Operating Hours

Visitor center open hours and closures vary by season, but Voyageurs National Park remains open and free to access year-round. With no entrance fees, you’re welcome to explore and enjoy the park any time of year.

During the warm months of summer, the park is a destination for those who enjoy exploring by boat or hiking through northern forests. The interconnected waterways and miles of shoreline offer unparalleled opportunities for adventure.

In winter, Voyageurs transforms into a snowy wonderland. Frozen lake surfaces provide access for snowmobiling, while park trails invite exploration on snowshoes or cross-country skis.
