Voyageurs National Park Association (VNPA) was organized in 1965 to establish Minnesota's only national park. Since its creation, we have worked with Voyageurs National Park to guide its development in a way that will protect the unique natural and historic resources while attracting visitors to this area rich in recreational opportunities.

VNPA promotes Voyageurs National Park through outreach activities and the creation of educational materials such as our recreation map series and the book, Birds of Voyageurs National Park. VNPA also helped produce the new film "Minnesota's National Park Legacy."

VNPA protects the Park by monitoring potential threats, mobilizing constituents and advocating for protection of the Park's resources. VNPA enhances the visitor experience by supporting trail maintenance, Park events and publications through funding and volunteer contributions.
