" You can still paddle the bw with a fly-in... your plane just has to be able to land in Quetico. Would that require a RABC permit as well? And a day permit for Q?" My understanding is you can't go to Canada from here, and vice versa..." Yes, for now. Asking for later.

cyclones30	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.
schweady	05/24/2021 09:27PM pilot: "Thanks. I guess I didn't realize that there were no fly-in trips in the BW. " Non-emergency aircraft cannot fly over the BWCAW lower than 4000 ft Mean Sea Level (MSL). 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.
sns	05/24/2021 07:19PM Wistfully hoping to do a fly-in further north late this season if the border opens...
pilot	05/24/2021 06:37PM Thanks. I guess I didn't realize that there were no fly-in trips in the BW.
bobbernumber3	05/24/2021 04:52PM Which "park"? I think BWCA fly-ins land on Canadian lakes which are not happening.
pilot	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?
