Picking Up Your Permit

An overnight travel permit must be picked up in person within 24 hours of the trip starting date at a designated USFS District Office or at an outfitter or business that is an official permit issuing station (cooperator). This face-to-face contact affords personnel at the issuing station an opportunity to inform visitors about BWCAW regulations, wilderness ethics, and minimum-impact camping techniques. Only the party leader or an alternate leader whose name appears on the application may pick up the permit. Identification is required and periodic checks may take place in the wilderness. All cards (Golden Age, Golden Access, or Seasonal Fee) must be presented when the permit is picked up to receive a discount, otherwise, the full camping fee will be charged. Cooperators may charge an extra $2 fee for issuing each overnight permit. Office hours vary, so be sure to check with your permit pick-up location for its office hours.

Any change to your permit, except group size, requires a new $12 reservation fee. Group size changes are made when the permit is picked up. If there are more than two people in your party, the cost difference will be collected at the time of permit pick up. Cash, checks, and credit cards are accepted at all USFS District Offices. At non-Forest Service cooperators (outfitters or resorts), payment is by credit card only. If the party size decreases, a refund will be made by the BWCAW Reservation Center after the trip.
