As September arrives we’re excited to see so many of you set to arrive in the next few weeks. We have almost all of our BWCAW routes open and we have had campfires allowed for awhile now…so mostly things are back to normal for our BWCA canoeing customers. Conditions are almost as perfect as you could expect currently. Cabin guests have been enjoying our accommodations for over a month now and having a great time with our late season fishing. Quetico has decided to not go through the necessary tasks required with a late season reopening unfortunately. A large percentage of the routes our Quetico customers take were untouched in July so we’re excited to look forward to a mostly normal season there next year as well.

It’s been great seeing a full camp here in the cabins and also getting folks back on the canoe camping trails. We just received some more good news in that we will be able to use all of Knife Lake beginning on Thursday, including the South Arm and North Arm. We have just a handful of campsites in that area that remain closed as well as the Amoeber, Cherry, Topaz area…..but nearly all of them will be open on Knife. Quetico is set to reopen on August 21st and we’ll pass along more info as we receive it. Looking forward to seeing everyone soon. As you can see air quality remains excellent….it been frustrating that we’ve had some cancellations where folks have assumed that we have had smoke issues when we haven’t. Feel free to call me if you need any questions answered.

At the end of another beautiful night here at the LaTourell docks on Moose Lake, we finally have the news we’ve been waiting for. Canoe camping and boat camping will resume on Wednesday August 5 for Moose Lake and several other Ely entry points. This is adding to the day trips that we’ve had going for the last few days for our resort guests. It is exciting news and we’re looking forward to seeing all of you with trips coming up. Thanks to everyone that was able to hang in there with us through the last few weeks.

Great news! We are seeing some more openings here in the Boundary Waters each day. We are now able to do both day paddle and day motor trips out of many areas including the Moose Chain and Basswood here at LaTourell’s. So if conditions remain stable, our future resort guests will be able to proceed as you had hoped. We’re hoping to see more types of trips opening soon as well including hopefully more camping options. For the immediate few days, those looking at making a canoe trip now have some options though. Feel free to contact us if you want to discuss some great trip options we now have available.

First of all, our local phone company is having some service issues today…nothing related to our July event issues. I have been in contact with them and they are trying to get it fixed. Feel free to email at [email protected] to contact us and I will try to get back to voicemails when I have access again.

Secondly here is the daily look at how good things are looking. No smoke or air quality conditions again as has been the case for about 11 days in a row.

We had a fair amount of rain again last night and this morning. We are now back to the resort full time, as the evacuation order has been lifted here at LaTourell’s. We’re busy getting everything ready for guests again and looking forward to even more of the BWCA reopening.

Conditions continue to improve here in the Boundary Waters here at LaTourell’s on Moose Lake. There hasn’t been smoke for several days. We needed to bail boats here today and this is what it looked like at about noon. We’ll keep our fingers crossed for continued progress. Feel free to call for updates and we hope to have more good news soon.

Sunday Update from LaTourell’s:
As you can see by the photo, the air quality today is great here in Ely this morning. This is on Shagawa Lake on the north side of Ely. We have a new updated BWCA closure until Friday which also aligns with Quetico Park’s current closure. This was set to allow for everyone to have more advanced planning. We will be notifying everyone that is within that window of time and staying hopeful that future dates remain open. We’re hopeful that the improved conditions and the great resources that officials now have in place here allow for even more progress to be made in the coming days. Once we get through the next few days, we will provide more updates on what things look like moving forward following the direction of the officials in charge here. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that conditions are most likely not going to degrade to the almost never before seen conditions we had last Monday. We’re hoping we’re now closer to the time that we can again be welcoming visitors back to LaTourell’s.
