Does anyone know what entry point road got washed out this past summer and if it was repaired following the big storm.

Maybe someone can say which roads, if any, had washout problems, but I've heard nothing at all about any road problems getting to BWCA entry points. If it were a problem, I'm sure there would have been discussion about it here on the board.

I thought the road to Mudro was washed out but maybe it wasn’t and I’m just imagining things.

The ones that I remember off the top of my head that were washed out in the June flooding were
*Road to Mudro ( N Grassy Road) and it was repaired
*Road to Slim EP next to Burntside (North Arm Road) and it was repaired
*Highway 1 south of Ely and it was repaired... for a while you needed to go all the way around through Babbit to get to South Kawishiwi River and Little Gabbro EPs from Ely. This one I paid close attention to because I took my 5 yo on his first trip to South Kawishiwi River in August and we were able to use HWY 1 by then.
*Echo Trail and it was repaired

There were more, but as far as I remember, all of them were repaired during the summer.

There are no remaining closed entry points. Some roads are still listed as closed as of 11/6/2024:

All entry that were closed were opened sometime around the 4th.

I remember the spur road (off the Echo Trail) down to the public landing on Big Lake getting washed out too. But, as others have already mentioned, it has been repaired.
