The Permit Reservation Lottery

The process of securing a BWCAW permit starts each year when lottery applications for permit reservations may be submitted to www.recreation.gov by website, mail, or fax beginning on December 1 each year. Applications submitted by mail or fax will be accepted through 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on January 10. Applications received through the website will be accepted through 5:00 p.m. CST on January 15. All applications received during this period will be processed by lottery regardless of the order or method received.

On January 20, following the lottery, first come, first-served reservation processing will begin via interactive website, mail, or fax. If January 20 falls on a Sunday or holiday, mailed or faxed reservation applications will be processed the next business day. Phone reservations will be accepted beginning February 1.

After making your reservation, the trip leader will receive a letter confirming that a BWCAW travel permit is reserved. Reservations made within the last seven days before the trip will be processed, but no confirmation letter will be sent.
