Dear Wilderness Trails Advocate: The Boundary Waters Advisory Committee (BWAC) is proud to announce our upcoming event, “Ten Years of Powwow Trail Restoration: Celebrating Forest Health and Wilderness Trail Access after the Pagami Creek Fire.”
This milestone marks both the anniversary of the Pagami Creek Fire, and of BWAC’s ongoing commitment to restoring the fire-damaged Powwow Trail for hikers and backpackers. We invite you to join BWAC volunteers, representatives of the Superior National Forest, and all outdoor enthusiasts who use and advocate for wilderness trails at 1:00 pm on October 30, 2021. The event is being held at BWCAW entry point 86, The Powwow Trail. EP86 is about 250 miles from the Twin Cities. The final seventeen miles of the route are unpaved, rugged Forest Service roads.
