We have a permit for EP 30 for Saturday Sept 2, exit EP 30 Sept 4, just two nights inside BWCA. last time we were at the Numbered Lakes was probably 2009, we still have a map. My question is , was the Numbered Lakes map updated after the 2011 fire?. Do I need to buy a new map? . I noticed that the recreation .gov web site shows only 7 permit/day, while BWCA maps in this site still shows 18 for EP 30. My guess is that the number of permits was changed to 7 because many campsites are closed??.. how do you know when a campsite is closed?..is there a website that shows the most accurate information on open/closed campsites in the Numbered Lakes?

The USFS provides updated closure maps at this link.
"Said one of these men, long past seventy years of age: 'I could carry, paddle, walk and sing with any man I ever saw. I have been twenty-four years a canoe man, and forty-one years in service; no portage was ever too long for me. Fifty songs could I sing. I have saved the lives of ten voyageurs. Have had twelve wives and six running dogs. I spent all my money in pleasure. Were I young again, I should spend my life the same way over. There is no life so happy as a voyageur's life!'"

There are 2 permit types for lake One - 30 and 30 F
#30 you can go any where
#30 F "Camping on the Kawishiwi River west of Confusion Lake is NOT allowed. Camping east and south of the Lake One landing IS allowed including Lakes One through Four, Hudson, Insula, and beyond." There are 7 for each of these entry points - making 14 per day for Lake One.
As for camp site - only a couple remain closed - ask at the ranger station in Ely or your outfitter.
