Snowmobiles in BWCA?

[mntrouter]

I know I shouldn't be thinking about winter fishing...but I can't help it. Is a guy allowed to drive snowmobile on all of the lakes that are motorized in the BWCA? If so, then what are the rules for snowmobiling on the Canada side?

Snowmobiles are NOT allowed to drive on all of the lakes that are motorized in the BWCAW. I believe there is a very limited area that they are allowed to use. The best thing to do would be to check with the U.S. Forest Service office in the area you are considering going into. Also if you went into Canada you would need a RABC permit and a liscense if you were going to fish on that side of the border.

The only area inside the BWCA that I know of where you can take a sled is Sag and you have to stay on the snowmobile corridor. If you go into Canada you'll need RABC.

Something new is the I-68 US Customs Permit. Theres a thread going already, if you Click Here you can find more info on it.

Thanks guys. I've snowmobiled Lac la Croix in the winter and then walked into the American side to fish. Do you know if a guy can snowmobile anywhere on the Canadian side or do they have regulations against that too?

No snowmobiles in the BWCA,but you can use a rig like this to get you around just fine. http://www.leeslakegenevaguideservice.com/images/New%20Folder/photo-of-week/hi-res/KB-Walleye-sleigh.jpg
