The Voyageurs National Park area has experienced relatively mild temperatures, but our trails crew has been monitoring what ice we do have on the lakes. Up to this point, there is not enough ice to safely measure. We will keep monitoring and open trails when it is safe to do so. Our current winter trails report can always be found on the Voyageurs National Park website at: Alerts & Conditions - Voyageurs National Park (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov)
