Beginning in 2008, permit fees for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area
Wilderness will be:
Adult per trip fee: $16.00
Youth per trip fee: $8.00
Adult Seasonal Fee Card: $64.00
Youth Seasonal Fee Card: $32.00
This increase of the cost of the permit, which is still very reasonable, is based upon the Consumer Index. User fees generated through this program come directly back to the Forest and help to fund the wilderness management program, including staffing with wilderness rangers, and funding campsite and portage maintenance, permit issuance, and wilderness education programs.
Another change for 2008 is the permit lottery will begin on December 1st 2007. In the past the lottery has begun on November 1st.
