What You Can Do

What can you do? By adhering to the BWCAW rules and regulations and following Leave No Trace (LNT) principles, you can help maintain the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and preserve it as an enduring resource for future generations.

Some examples:

 Be aware of campfire restrictions to prevent unwanted wild fires.

 Help identify invasive species locations in the wilderness. Ask for the Non-native Invasive Species booklet available at Forest Service District offices and some cooperating businesses.

 Follow Minnesota State law by packing out all paper instead of burning it. Burning paper releases harmful pollutants negatively affecting air quality.

 Follow the Leave-No-Trace principle of being considerate to other visitors by letting nature’s sounds prevail. Avoid loud voices/noises, don’t crowd up at portages, and keep your dog under control to help promote opportunities for solitude.

 Report any outfitter or guide that does not follow BWCAW and/or Superior National Forest rules and regulations.
