05/24/2021 09:35PM Yeah, only fly-ins allowed in Quetico and until the border/park opens up none of that is happening for US folks. |

The BWCAW is generally around 1200 MSL so a plane must fly at least 2800 ft Above Ground Level (AGL). Obviously, this precludes landing on any lake in the wilderness. |

05/24/2021 04:52PM Which "park"? I think BWCA fly-ins land on Canadian lakes which are not happening. |

05/24/2021 03:14PM Would love to do a fly-in to a remote part of the park this summer. I'm guessing that we won't know much more about access to Canada until it's too late to plan something, so does anyone have such a trip they have done and can recommend? |
