We are a *cooperator/outfitter/guide with the Forest Service and can take care of getting your permit if you wish. (*We are a Cooperator with the USDA Forest Service under the Superior National Forest.  We issue permits into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW), part ot the National Wilderness Preservation System.  As a Cooperator with the Forest Service, we are an equal opportunity service-provider.)

The Forest Service changed their permit application procedures in 2019. The Forest Service will accept  MasterCard, Visa, or Discover credit cards for permit fee payment. We have an $10 service fee for each applications we make for you or if you'd like to make your own permit you can visit their website at www.recreation.gov .
