x2jmorris	06/08/2021 10:27AM I think Thursday afternoon is most popular. If you can get on the lake by 5 or 6 am then you will probably fare alright.
EddyTurn	06/07/2021 06:17PM Just an observation of the reservation page shows that where permits are still available, number of Sunday-Monday permits are usually at the maximum compared with other days, Thursday - at the minimum.
scramble4a5	06/07/2021 05:58PM Aldy1: "Schweady has done permit studies that show Thursday is the most popular entry day of the week. Not sure about exit day but probably Sunday. " We always go in on a Sunday based on this theory. We also try to hit our target lake as early in the day as possible to snag a preferred site.
THEGrandRapids	06/07/2021 04:47PM If there are no permits left, would that still hold true?

pkrien	06/07/2021 01:49PM What seems to be the most popular days for entering, and exiting the Boundary Waters?
