The Cavity Lake Fire is approximately 35 miles northwest of Clearwater lodge and is still burning. Here at the lodge we will smell some smoke now and again but mostly are not aware of anything out of the ordinary.
The wind is out of the North so the fire is currently being blown back onto itself. The USFS has closed entry points, lakes and portages within the BWCA. In addition to yesterday's closures Missing Link entry point has closed, Round Lake, Red Rock Lake, and Seagull Lake as well. If you have a permit for any entry point on the Gunflint Trail then please call your outfitter or the Forest Service because there are plenty of other canoe routes not impacted by this fire.
There are a lot of rumors about road closures, national guard, storms and everything else floating around that make the fire seem a lot worse than it is so please make sure you are talking to a reputable source for information. As we find out information, we will update our blog.
