Keep it Wild: Early Winter in the BWCAW
Pictured is Ada Igoe, co-owner of Tuscarora Lodge & Outfitters on the Gunflint Trail. Check out Ada’s recommended ice-safety gear, to have with you anytime you venture out on the ice early in the season, or anywhere there might be stream current or unknown ice conditions.
In this debut segment of “Keep it Wild,” USFS Wilderness Operations Lead Megan McClanahan discusses early winter adventuring in the BWCAW, including monitoring the fast-changing ice conditions, preparing for your skating or fishing trip and why it’s nice to fill out a self-issue permit before you go.
