Duluth, Minn., – July 18, 2024 – The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) permit is now available on the Recreation.gov mobile app. While this is a welcome update that provides more options for visitors, the best way to plan your trip and make reservations is through a desktop computer on the Recreation.gov website. The mobile app adds on-the-go convenience for accessing and managing existing reservations.
Get the app before your trip!
- Available in the App Store or Google Play
- It is important to install the Recreation.gov app before you travel to your destination as many public land locations are remote and without mobile coverage.
Easily update group members
- The Recreation.gov app makes it easy for permit holders to update group members before arriving at your permit issue station. Click the “Reservations” icon at the bottom of the screen and select the permit to update.
Can’t go on the trip and need to cancel?
- It takes only a few seconds for permit holders to cancel using the Recreation.gov app! Click the “Reservations” icon at the bottom of the screen and select the permit to cancel. Remember that cancelling a permit allows others the opportunity to experience the BWCA Wilderness.
