Cook County Visitors Bureau sent out this clarification note today in response to some incorrect maps published in the media. (A sharp-eyed Bearskin Facebook fan may have been the first to point these errors out. Thanks!)
There has been confusion in the media and in our community over which Boundary Waters entry points are still open, particularly concerning which entry points are part of the Vento Unit. Here is the latest information:
OPEN COOK COUNTY BWCAW ENTRY POINTS
42 Brule (must stay on Brule only)
54A Seagull (must stay on Seagull only)
55A Saganaga (must stay on Saganaga only)
57 Magnetic
58 South 80 Larch
60 Duncan
61 Daniels
62 Clearwater
64 East Bearskin
66 Crocodile
68 Pine
69 John
70 North Fowl
So yes, you can still take that BWCA trip. Entry points in our area are open. Give us a call. Over the past few days we’ve sent out many canoeists who were displaced from other BWCA locations, but we still have quite a few canoes and lots of gear available. Fire disrupted many BWCA plans, but it doesn’t have to end your trip possibilities.
