TRAVEL PERMITS, FEES, AND RESERVATIONS

Obtaining Permits

Permits are required year-round for all day and overnight visitors to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Every visitor in the Boundary Waters is required to have a BWCAW travel permit in possession. The permit allows you to enter the wilderness only on the starting date and through the entry point specified on the permit. Once in the wilderness, you are free to travel where you desire, as long as applicable motor-use restrictions are followed.

There are currently two categories of permits; quota and non-quota self-issuing.

QUOTA PERMITS: Entry quotas were established for overnight campers in order to reduce competition for the limited number of established campsites and to avoid unauthorized camping on undeveloped sites. The daily limit at each entry point (from as low as 1 to as many as 27) is based on the number of campsites available to visitors using the routes served by the entry point. The quotas pertain only to overnight campers during the five-month May through September canoeing season.
