Boundary Waters Permit Changes Coming | Duluth News

Boundary Waters permits are getting a major overhaul to tackle rampant cancellations—up to 40% of last year’s reservations went unused. Starting as early as January 2025, a new refund policy will kick in: 50% refund if you cancel 28+ days out, 25% if you cancel 28–3 days before, and no refund if you bail within 2 days. The goal? Get those coveted spots into the hands of folks who’ll actually show up. The Superior National Forest and the Boundary Waters Collaborative are seeking public feedback until July 22—email or snail mail to their Duluth office. If approved, this could reshape how you book your wilderness adventure. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
