Summaries follow but take time to make sure all members of your group are aware of the regulations and the consequences for not following them.

PERMITS: You must enter the BWCAW at the entry point and on the entry date shown on your permit. Expired permits cannot be used on different dates and you may not re-enter on a different date using the same permit. Permits become invalid when the trip leader leaves the wilderness.

GROUP SIZE: Nine people and four watercraft are the maximum allowed together in the wilderness. Not only must two groups of nine people each camp separately, they must also paddle separately.

DOGS: Although dogs have been called “Man’s Best Friend,” Fido may not be so popular in the BWCA. Incessant barking can ruin the experience of campers that you may not be aware are nearby. A chance encounter with wildlife can lead to serious injuries. If your dog experiences his own sense of wanderlust, chasing him down can ruin your trip. If you choose to bring your dog, he must be kept on a leash at landings and on portages.
