USFS closes entire Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness amid wildfire surge
The Superior National Forest temporarily will close all public access to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness beginning at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, July 14, as hot, dry and windy conditions fuel a surge of wildfires across northeastern Minnesota.
Forest officials announced the closure today, citing rapidly changing fire behavior, heavy smoke and the difficulty of carrying out emergency rescues in the remote, 1-million-acre wilderness.
