Voyageurs National Park staff have placed hazard markers and other buoys within park boundaries.

Boaters should use caution when traveling with low water levels at this time of year. These low water levels may create unmarked hazards that are not typically visible during high-water periods. Boaters should remember that various hazards may develop at any time during the summer without warning, and these hazards may not be marked.

Lamplighters from the United States Coast Guard (USCG) have also completed the placement of navigational aids in the park’s four main lakes: Rainy, Kabetogama, Namakan, and Sand Point Lakes.
