Winter Trip to Cache Bay - RABC Permits in Action

Canadian helicopters and drones are flying over the lakes of the Boundary Waters with greater frequency as the 2025 paddling season nears.  From Lake Superior to the far western edge of the Boundary Waters near Ely, reports of sightings of drones and helicopters flying just above the tree line continue to reach the Paddle and Portage Podcast team. Part of the podcast team traveled to Saganaga Lake at the end of the Gunflint Trail in late March to check out the situation. We traveled to Quetico Provincial Park via Cache Bay with property owners on the Canadian side of Sag, using our recently renewed RABC permit in the process.  This episode is supported by:  Solbakken Resort on Superior Save the Boundary Waters Sawtooth Outfitters
