1/25/12 – The U.S. Forest Service is accepting reservations for BWCA Wilderness entry permits starting today. The permit gives your group, of up to nine people, permission to enter the wilderness on a certain day at a particular entry point. Each wilderness entry point has a daily quota for how many parties are allowed in. Once enough reservations are received to fill the quota, no more permits are allowed for that day and entry point.
It’s a good idea to reserve the permit as soon as your entry date and entry point are firm. The length of the trip, where you go once you are in the wilderness and how many people you have, can remain flexible.
You can reserve your permit at: www.recreation.gov or by calling toll free 1-877-550-6777. Or, if you prefer, just call us and we will reserve the permit for you. – Bill
