quote Mocha: "give golden eagle lodge a call. they have a private campground on their property, NOT at all sure if they allow winter camping. you could pick up your ski passes and map and ski right from there! if they don't allow camping maybe they could offer some suggestions.
Grand Marais Rec Park, Kimball lake, Trails End Campground."
Thanks Mocha! I actually did call Golden Eagle lodge few weeks back, very friendly and ok to camp at the park and they sell wood which is helpful.... so I am considering that as an alternative to going into the BWCA.
