ELY, Minn. - The Boundary Waters Canoe Area begins accepting online reservations for the summer season Wednesday,

The 1.1 million acre Boundary Waters is America's most visited wilderness area, attracting 250,000 visitors annually.

The Recreation.gov web site begins accepting BWCA reservations on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 9 a.m. Wednesday Jan 28th.

Ely-based outfitter Steve Piragis says the day will be particularly important for groups that want specific entry points or entry days. But he says people who don't want to plan so far ahead will still have access to hundreds of permits throughout the season, via the web site and from outfitters.

Some permits for certain popular entry points were awarded by lottery last week.

Y'all better hurry up if you plan to enter some of the more popular entry points. Some of them are already over 40% booked.
