At the Fall USFS Boundary Waters Cooperator meeting the officials told the outfitters there was no longer going to be a lottery for BWCA permits. Their decision to get rid of the lottery was based upon availability of permits after the lottery. There were plenty of permits left long after the lottery with the exception of five BWCA entry points.
There will only be a lottery for Moose Lake entry points F, G & 25 and Fall Lake entry points D & 24. These BWCA entry point permits are often gone after the lottery and people were concerned about the ability of the reservation program to handle the large number of permit applications at the first opportunity to reserve permits.
A trial of the reservation process was conducted and results were not what was expected. In order to make this year's BWCA permit reservation process go smoothly there will still be a lottery for those Boundary Waters permits most in demand on Fall and Moose Lake.
All other entry point permits will be reserved on a first come first served basis. The lottery will begin on December 19th and end on January 19th with the lottery ran on the 20th. Regular BWCA permit application season opens on the 25th of January at 9am Central.
We'll take your reservation at Voyageur anytime you're ready and can reserve your BWCA permit too.
