"recreation.gov-maint Our Apologies... The Recreation.gov website is not available due to a lapse in funding for the federal government. We will keep all reservations in the system intact until the departure date has passed in the event you would like to use any part of your reservation. If your reservation falls completely within the time frame of the lapse in funding, full refunds will be made. No additional cancellation fees will be charged to the customer for reservation cancellations as a result of facility closures. We invite you to return to this site as the situation evolves in order to obtain additional information about how services and reservations may be affected." |

Grandma L: "I believe the BWCA lottery is the question. I also think it is run by a contracted company and should be functional during the shutdown but, we will see. " Oh... also run by recreation.gov? |

Someone on the trip planning forum noticed that they got charged for permit fees. So, sounds like it happened. |
