The BWCA Moose Lake & Fall Lake permit Lottery deadline is Jaunuary 13, 2015.
What does this mean for you? If you want to take a Day Trip and/or Overnight Motor Trip into the BWCA entry points of Moose Lake or Fall Lake you want to book now!
These entry points only have so many permits that you can use a 25hrp or less motorboat with. They run a permit lottery to try and make it a little more fair for those applying for a motor permit. We will help you put in your permit lottery application by January 13, 2015. The we wait. A few days later the US Forest Service/Recreation.gov starts sending out confirmation emails
What about paddle only permits for Moose Lake and Fall Lake entry points? You can also enter the permit lottery for this type of permit. It just gives you a bit of a jump start on booking your paddle only trip permits. Remember you will only be looking at Moose Lake and Fall Lake entry points at this time. All other entry point permit reservations will be available in a few weeks.
Other BWCA entry points - January 28th, 2015 we can start reserving all BWCA enter point permits. This is when the first come first serve reservations start for the summer of 2015. This is a really good time to reserve permits for those hard to get entry points such as Mudro, Gabbro, and Moose River North. It is also a very good time to reserve for busy times of the summer. The peak season is Mid-July to Mid-August. If you want to travel then try and have us book your permit as close to January 28th as possible.
Will all the BWCA entry point permits be gone if I don't book by January 28th? Yes and No. Many of the day use motor and overnight motor permits will have been reserved in the lottery ending January 13th. If you want a motor permit of either kind you need to get in on the lottery. There are very few if any left to reserve after the lottery. Other BWCA overnight paddle permits for most entry points will still have permits to reserve after January 28th. If you are picky about your trip dates or want a specific entry point then book sooner then later. If you are a bit flexible then you have some time to figure out your plans.
Do I need to know what outfitting I want when I get a permit? No, the permit is the most important part. Once we book your BWCA permit then we can help you determine what outfitting meets your needs. For outfitting options please visit www.elycanoetrips.com.
