Beginning Oct. 1, hazard markers and regulatory buoys maintained by Voyageurs National Park will be removed as weather conditions allow.
In addition, area lamplighters will begin removing U.S. Coast Guard-maintained navigational aids on Oct. 14.
Due to low water conditions, boaters are advised to take added precautions while operating on park lakes after these dates.
In addition, Voyageurs National Park reminds hunters that hunting and trapping of any type or manner is prohibited on national park lands and all waters within the boundary of the park.
Park rangers enforce the hunting and trapping prohibition under federal regulations, which carry a maximum penalty up to $10,000 and/or six months in jail for misdemeanor violations and $20,000 and/or five years in jail, with forfeiture of hunting equipment, for felony violations.
Although most park boundaries are not posted, it is the responsibility of the hunter to know his/her location.
Maps depicting the park boundary and area information are available on visitor center bulletin boards, at park headquarters (1-218-283-6600), or through the Rainy Lake District Ranger at 1-218-286-5258 and the Namakan District Ranger at 1-218-875-2116.
If you have any questions, contact a park ranger in advance of your planned hunting activities near Voyageurs National Park.
