Here's the last-week view — the 7 days ending August 24 (the latest data in the file).
581 cancellations in the last week, about 83 a day. Kawishiwi led (250), then Gunflint (197), Tofte (110), and LaCroix (24) — the same district order as the full month.
The most interesting shift is the trip dates are tilting toward September. Last week 39% of cancellations (229 of 581) were for September trips, versus just 23% across the full month. That makes sense: August is filling in and partly past, so the permits freeing up now are increasingly for September dates. Good news if you're pointing people toward late-season trips.
Daily activity is easing off at the very end, but that's the reporting cutoff (data stops mid-day Aug 24) — Aug 18–20 were all 100–118, then it tapers into the cutoff.
Busiest entry points last week:
Entry Point District Cancellations Moose Lake (OP 45 + OM 18) Kawishiwi 63 Lake One Kawishiwi 29 Sawbill Lake Tofte 27 Saganaga Lake Gunflint 23 Kawishiwi Lake Tofte 20 Fall Lake (OP 18 + OM 12) Kawishiwi 30 Seagull Lake Gunflint 17 Snowbank Lake Kawishiwi 17 Brule Lake Tofte 15 Mudro Lake Kawishiwi 14
Lead times held steady: paddle a median of 9 days out, motor 4 days, day-use motor still opening right around the trip date. Motor watchers should stay focused on the final week before a trip.
