9/30/11 – All campfire restrictions have been lifted, both within and outside the BWCA Wilderness. As always, fires are only allowed in the fire grates provided at each campsite in the BWCA Wilderness and all fires should be put out cold before being left unattended.
The Pagami Creek fire is officially 75% contained, but it is now highly unlikely that it will kick up into a major fire again. We expect that more routes to the west of Sawbill will be reopened soon. – Bill
