Fees & Passes

Overview of entrance requirements

Free

No entrance pass required

An entrance pass is not required to access Voyageurs National Park.

Other National Park Service sites may require an entrance pass or fee. Depending on your trip plans, an interagency pass may save you money.

Voyageurs National Park does not have an entrance fee. However, there are fees for camping, houseboat permits, tour boats, and special use permits.

 

Your fee dollars help support the building of new and old campsites and other park facilities.
