New paddle routes map for Voyageurs National Park



In collaboration with National Geographic, Voyageurs National Park has designed a map specifically geared toward visitors who travel the park by canoe or kayak.

These topographic maps feature recommended paddle routes along the shorelines of Voyageurs National Park, divided into labeled sections. Each section has a brief route description that includes highlights one can expect to see while paddling, as well as any special conditions to be aware of, such as exposure to prevailing winds and areas of heavy boat traffic.

Maps are expected to be available at all Voyageurs National Park visitor centers in the coming weeks.

Paddlers planning on camping in the park are reminded campsite reservations are required. Visitors may make reservations by going online at www.recreation.gov or by calling the National Call Center at (877) 444-6777.

Overnight tent visitors may find a summary of the reservation program and policies at the following link—https://www.nps.gov/voya/planyourvisit/tent-camping.htm.
