Missed Your Voyageurs National Park Passport Stamp?

Missing a Voyageurs National Park Cancellation? You Are Not Alone.

Voyageurs National Park Passport Cancellation Stamps

Voyageurs National Park has passport cancellation stamps at the Rainy Lake Visitor Center near International Falls, the Kabetogama Lake Visitor Center, and the Ash River Visitor Center. Each serves a different access point to this water-based park along the Minnesota-Ontario border.

A missing national park cancellation from Voyageurs is common because the park interior is only accessible by boat — there are no roads once you leave the visitor centers on the shore. Many visitors launch their own boats or hire outfitters and spend days camping on the Kabetogama Peninsula without ever visiting a staffed facility. The visitor centers have seasonal hours (typically May through September) and each is at a different lake access point, requiring separate drives.

About Voyageurs

State: Minnesota · Established: 1975 · Size: 218,222 acres · Iconic landmark: Rainy Lake

Voyageurs is a water-based park in the far north of Minnesota, a labyrinth of interconnected lakes, islands, and forested shorelines along the Canadian border. Named for the French-Canadian fur traders who once paddled these waters, the park is best explored by boat, canoe, or kayak, its four large lakes forming natural highways through the northwoods wilderness. Beneath some of the oldest exposed rock on Earth, the landscape is a mosaic of pine and spruce forest that shelters wolves, moose, black bears, and nesting bald eagles, while the lakes brim with walleye and northern pike. In winter, the frozen waterways become ice roads and ski trails. Far from city lights, Voyageurs is a certified dark-sky park where the aurora borealis frequently dances overhead, offering paddlers and stargazers alike a taste of pristine boreal wilderness.
