Such good news and timing is terrific. We have almost every canoe out, every day, because this is a perfect time of year to be here. The nights can get a little chilly now, so a campfire under the starlit sky will be appreciated.

Oh my, didn’t see this coming, but it’s probably wise. There will be questions. This just came out a few minutes ago, we do not know many answers.

If you have a permit for EP 64 or EP 62, you’re in luck. Ice is off East Bearskin this afternoon. We have no idea what you’ll find farther in after portaging, but high winds are doing a number on the ice. 🤞🏻

Did you pick up a BWCA permit for entry point #64 East Bearskin Lake, Entry Point #66 Crocodile River, or any EP in the mid-Gunflint Trail area? Now it’s time to reserve your canoes and gear. Give us a call (218)388-2292 or email [email protected] and we will get your needs taken care of.

Don’t worry if you’re not someone who can plan your canoe trip 6 months early. Many of the permits disappear today and then they come back in the queue again later. Truth is, a lot of the permit grabbers can’t plan their life 6 months ahead either. 😉 Whenever you’re ready to plan a BWCA trip, our outfitting staff will find you a way to canoe into the wilderness. Just give us a call.

This ban does not apply to the campgrounds yet or to resort or private property. But whenever it’s dry enough for a BWCA fire ban, it’s dry enough to be cautious wherever you might be using fire.

We don’t actually know the conditions of portages near us yet. Good advice might be to bring a little folding saw. Trees went over everywhere, but mostly they were not giant trees.
