Voyageurs National Park - Winter Trails Report 2/15/2023

Snow drifts are difficult to see on some of the trails and can appear quickly so slower speeds are recommended. Frozen slush can be found on trails, please use caution. Please be aware of your surroundings and pay attention to all trail signage. The ice roads are now established to their furthest extent for the season. Remember, ice is never 100% safe so pay attention to signage and be aware of your surroundings.
