Boundary Waters Reopens Partially | Duluth News

Boundary Waters is slowly reopening after July wildfires—1,600 of 2,000 campsites are now accessible, but conditions vary wildly: scorched stumps, smoldering needles, and patches of green. Fire crews remain on-site clearing debris and checking for unstable trees. Overnight stays require site-by-site confirmation, and smoke may still linger from deep underground hotspots. Visitors must stick to designated spots and ensure fires are fully extinguished. Winter weather may help with tree removal, but full recovery will take time—and some sites may stay closed indefinitely.
