Getting There

• Car

  From any location in Minnesota, head towards International Falls. If you are less than 50 kilometers from Voyageurs National Park, you likely are coming from nearby towns such as Ranier or Baudette. Use Highway 71 to reach International Falls. Once in International Falls, follow signs directing you to Voyageurs National Park. The park has several entry points, but the Rainy Lake Visitor Center is a popular starting point. Parking is available, and there are no entry fees for the park. Make sure to check the roads for any seasonal closures, especially in winter.

• Public Transportation

  If you are traveling by public transportation, your best option is to take a Greyhound bus to International Falls. From there, you can take a taxi or rideshare service to reach the Rainy Lake Visitor Center of Voyageurs National Park. Be aware that public transportation options may be limited, so check the bus schedules in advance. Taxi fares from the bus station to the park can vary, so ensure you have cash or a card ready.

• Boat

  If you're interested in exploring the park by water, you can rent a boat or take a guided tour from the Rainy Lake Visitor Center. This is a great way to see the park's stunning landscape. However, you will need to arrange for transportation to the visitor center first, as mentioned above. Boat rentals typically cost around $100 for a half-day, so budget accordingly.
