9,515 permits were reserved in the first 3 weeks (23% of the total available) 2,506 permits were reserved in the following month (29% of the total available taken to that point) 2,087 permits were reserved in the month after that (bringing it up to just 34% of the total available that have been taken so far) |

Today comes close: If I had not limited myself this round to only updating numbers from June 1st onward, you'd see that only 32 spots are available for walk-up on this Saturday before Memorial Day. But, hey, there are some good ones included in that mix: Fall Lake, Lake One, Angleworm Lake... |

geranharris: "This is a dumb question but, I am assuming that each permit is counted as 1 whether it is for a solo trip or a full group of 9 members correct? Correct, a permit is a permit no matter the number of group members. |

For instance, If the daily quota is 17, and there is a group of 2 with a permit and also a group of 8 with a permit. The available number will now be reflected as 15, and not 7. Am I right? |

I’m back at it with a new set of numbers showing the permits remaining for the 153 days in the reservation season. 63 entry points x 153 dates = 9,639 numbers representing the 41,049 permits offered each year. This data was collected one week before the beginning of the month of June. To provide some consistency, I have decided to freeze in place data for each month already underway as collected one week before that month's start. It's not a perfect solution, but in the end, the study will display the number of permits remaining for each of the six months at a point one week prior to its onset. It would be nice if there was time to collect data each day, but... Hopefully, I can continue to present similar monthly snapshots of permits remaining each month on Jun 24, Jul 25, and Aug 25. The rationale for the study may be found in previous installments for 2019: BWCAW Permit Availability Study April 24, 2019 BWCAW Permit Availability Study March 25, 2019 So, here are the results for May 25, 2019 (11+ weeks into the reservation period). I hope you'll enjoy exploring the twenty-one pages of stats on the permits remaining at each of the 63 individual entry points and the three summary pages at the end: |
