The park was opened in 1970 and was originally 63 km². In 2003 the park size was increased to 119 km², at the same time that the adjacent Øvre Pasvik landskapsvernområde, a national protected area, was opened with an area of 170 km².
The tripoint Finland-Norway-Russia lies near the southernmost point of the national park; at that point, not only do three countries meet, but also three different time zones.
