Fire Restrictions Lifted in BWCAW Blowdown
11 Sep
Thanks to cooler temperatures, more precipitation and shorter days the Forest Service has lifted fire restrictions in the blowdown area of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Campers may now use campfires, charcoal, and wood-burning camp stoves, and the Border Route Trail system and the Kekekabic Trail have re-opened for public use.
As always, the Forest Service enourages campers to exercise caution when using fires or wood burning stoves, and suggests using gas or propane cooking stoves to reduce wilderness impact.
