Do you need to pull a motor permit in order to be towed into a drop-off point by an outfitter? Or, does the motor permit just apply to people who are camping with a motorboats?
Thanks!

You just need to buy your permit for your entry point, the outfitter takes care of the tow mumbo Jumbo. Of course the outfitter can take care of any permit you might need if you choose to go that route.

Wallee gave you some good advice - Just don't wait too long to get your paddle permit (for when they let you off after the tow). I just got 2 permits for mid-August this morning and things are starting to fill up - depending on lake and dates.

Short answer....no. Outfitter handles the tow.

Where do you find info on how many motor permits are allowed per lake?

Outfitters who tow have a tow boat sticker on their boat which allows them to conduct that business. You will pay the outfitter for the tow. All you will need to obtain is a paddling permit for your canoes. Hope this helps.

And, at least on the Gunflint side, you don't have to book with an outfitter on the lake you're being towed on necessarily. I've had no problems with outfitters in the mid trail area arranging tows for us.
