I don't know that I understand your question.

To camp in the BWCA you need a permit. If camp between May 1st and Sept. 30th you need to get the permit from an issuing station and it is $16 a person. Outside of those dates you fill out a permit at your entry point and there is no charge. If you choose to make reservations there is a small reservation fee for doing it online.

You can hike in on BWCA hiking trails or you can choose to paddle. That of course requires a boat and if you can't beg, borrow or steal one, then you will need to rent one and that typically runs $30-40 a day.

Once you're in the BWCA there are no other fees. You can camp anywhere there is a designated campsite.

For camping areas, check out maps by either Fisher or McKenzie. I prefer the McKenzie maps because they are easier on the eyes and they are larger scale. There are books at the library that can help you pick an entry point or feel free to ask here. I could suggest some routes for about any skill level.

If you have all the gear you need, the trip really only costs $16 more than any other camping trip you might be planning and thats no more than the price of one night at a state park, except you can stay in the BWCA for several weeks....all for $16.

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
