Good News for Campers in the BWCA

     We received over an inch of rain on Thursday and that was enough for the USFS to lift the fire ban.  Our campers heading into the woods were quite happy with the news.  There’s nothing quite like sitting by the glow of a campfire underneath a star filled sky in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.  Come see for yourself, we’d love to see you at Voyageur.

Restrictions Lifted on Superior National Forest 

As of 12:00 noon, today, Friday, May 14, 2010, the Forest Service will lift current restrictions and to allow the use of campfires, charcoal, and wood-burning camp stoves on all national forest system lands at all times of the day within the Superior National Forest.  Fire danger has been greatly reduced by recent precipitation across the Forest. 

As always, visitors are urged to use care with campfires and use designated fire grates.
