Are you about to or did you cancel a permit? If so let the community know so they can keep an eye out for it.

NOTE: Permits which are cancelled are not immediately available. They will likely become available in the next 8 - 24 hours. The best way to know when the permit is actually available is to sign up for permit alerts.

I scheduled BWCA during my kids camp. So now I'm CANCELLING MOOSE RIVER NORTH ENTRY 16. I was to enter on JULY 4.

I am looking for something around the 26, 27th. I'd like Mudro or Nina Moose North.

I am logged in and trying to sign up for permit alerts and it says permit alerts are only available for active members. Am I not a member even though have logged in successfully. Created my account a number of years ago. Am I missing something?
I see I have to become a supporting member. OK

I will likely be canceling a permit for the East Bearskin entry point tomorrow.

I just canceled a Fall Lake/Basswood Overnight Motor permit for May 8.

I just cancelled my permit for May 20, 2025 at Entry 27, Snowbank Lake. Sadly I need some surgery that will interfere. Hope to get to the Boundary Waters in the fall and try the trip I originally planned next spring (2026).

I just canceled my June 21 Brant Lake permit.

What was to be the summer of my first BWCA experience is now going to be the summer of my divorce. Suppose I still could have gone but would have just spent the whole week in isolation overwhelmed with anxiety as I wonder what’s transpiring on the home front. If all goes well it’ll be over in August. I’ll do something local in the fall when I can relax again. Then spend the winter planning to do this trip next year.

Just canceled a permit for Baker Lake on July 21.

Someone cancelled a permit for EP 47 (Lizz Lake) for May 23, and thanks to this notification system, I was able to get it. Still a little shocked that it happened, because I'd tried to get that permit on opening day and it was gone within seconds. A hearty thank-you to whoever came up with an implemented this system and this site!
