Voyageurs National Park staff will begin removing hazard markers and regulatory buoys within the park starting Monday.

In addition, Voyageurs National Park staff remind visitors that hunting and trapping of any type or manner is prohibited on federal lands and all waters within the boundary of Voyageurs National Park.

This includes the removal of animals that have entered the park boundary after being shot outside the park.

Park rangers enforce hunting and trapping laws under federal regulations, park staff said in a news release. These regulations carry a maximum penalty up to $10,000 and/or 6-months in jail for misdemeanor violations and $20,000 and/or 5-years in jail with forfeiture of hunting equipment for felony violations.

Park officials ask hunters to know where they are hunting. Maps showing the park boundary and area information are available at visitor centers, boat launch kiosks, and at park headquarters. Call the park at 283-6600 for more information.
