International Falls, MN –In the summer of 2014, Voyageurs National Park and staff faced many challenges.A flood resembling a record flood of 1950 occurred within the park shutting down multiple operations at times and a new reservation and amenity fee program started with a select 51 campsites throughout the park.

Campsites that were selected filled quickly and little issues arose.While some revenue was lost and visitors could not camp at times due to the flood, park officials were pleased overall with the reservation results and will continue to embark on the next phase of reservations as outlined below:
