The temps are dropping fast and the 2/10s of rain we got is going to freeze solid on the lakes within the next 24 hours. We're going to be back to boot travel on the lakes. The lake ice is holding up well, thankfully the snow absorbed most of the warm temps the last two weeks. Looking forward in the forecast we're going to be making ice again soon. It's a great season to ice fish! Andy |

This isn't in the BWCAW, but adjacent. Andy |

I have a couple buddies planning a winter camping/ ice fishing trip over spring break. Hoping to go on clearwater. Think the ice will still be safe on March 15? |

Winter is here! The lakes are starting to freeze, but there is still quite a bit of open water. It's going to be a while for the big lakes, with the warmer weather in the forecast. Here's what it looks like: Gunflint Ice Update Watch out for the West Bearskin latrine... Andy |

Really appreciate the effort. Hoping for some wild skating this year before the heavy snow comes. A warm couple of days ahead for us though. Mike |

Is Tuscarora Frozen? If you're coming up for the holidays be careful, there's lot so good ice but there's also lots of open water. Andy |

Is it winter? The small lakes are pretty good, but I'd be pretty careful on medium lakes and probably stay off the large lakes until we get another week of cold weather. Andy |

“ CO Hudson Ledeen (Grand Marais #2) reports that area ice remains in good shape and foot travel in the BWCA is as good as it gets. Anglers continue to pursue trout, and some nice fish were seen caught. Equipment maintenance was performed.” MN DNR CO Reports - District 6 Two Harbors area |

The 2nd trip of the year on the 29th, may not happen if temps go back into the 40's :( |

Here's what it looked like before the snow: Lake Trout Trip The big lakes, like Sag, Gunflint, Clearwater, North, South, etc. froze up very late and are the ice is thin and not uniform. We need another cold snap before I'd recommend spending much time on them. Andy |
