The big news, as always in January for the BWCA and Quetico is the permit reservation process. January 31st at 9:00 AM is the opening of the BWCA permit reservation process for both our canoeing and resort cabin guests. We have already spoken to most of you with trip plans set with us about this process. If you have any questions, please reach out to us. For those of you that have not yet finalized any plans with us, please contact us at your earliest convenience if you are thinking of making a visit with us. Quetico trip permit reservations can be made 5 months to the date before the trip or later. Again, we are available to help all of our customers navigate these systems. With either wilderness area, to have the best chance at securing your preferred trip dates its best to contact us at your earliest convenience.
It has been great talking to so many of you and planning your trips coming up for our open water season in 2024. Please feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience if you are interested in some of the cabin openings that remain for 2024.
We started our winter with some unusually warm conditions as the 2024 arrived. The middle of January has seen more typical cold and snow, so we'll see how the winter ends up impacting our spring forest conditions and lake levels. Even though we had much less snow, we did pick up a bunch of rain in the last part of 2023 which should help moisture levels. As the spring thaw approaches, we'll keep updating how things look. Ice conditions in the area were very poor, but have improved a bunch the last few weeks.
We are again selling several of our kevlar canoe fleet this spring. Please let us know if you have any questions on what canoes we have available and we'll be glad to get you specific canoe photos, prices, and information.
Thank you again for visiting our site! We enjoy sharing your experiences to these Northwoods our family calls home. We truly appreciate each of your visits with us and look forward to helping you with your vacation plans.
