Where do you park? Is it safe to leave our vehicles at the entry point for 4 days?

There is a parking lot for your vehicle. While break ins do occur, they are quite rare. The only thing that has broken into my car, in 30 plus years, are mice. They stole my Cliff Bars!

Thanks! Never been to the BWCA and am 'a little' anxious.

June 2-8 in that lot....no problems. Don't leave food or stinky wrappers in car. You may have a bear pry a door off. I have come back to lots after trip and found trees on vehicles from storms.

That entry like most has parking of some sort. As others have said, lock your car and seal any food in a cooler or something

I just left my car there for 9 days and didn't worry about it. Is it safe? Like Egknuti says, break in happen at entry points but are rare. They also happen downtown, and in the suburbs, and in small towns. I'd be as worried about bears and mice, and just don't leave anything looking valuable anywhere. Personally, the further the entry point is from town, the less I worry - and 14 is as far as it gets.

I don't worry about it much, but I don't leave my wallet, etc. in there either. The only break-ins I've had were mice.
