Superior National Forest offers clarification and FAQs on Dog Leash Rules

The Superior National Forest (NF) has had several inquiries from visitors and media outlets, specifically citing ‘confusion’ from the BWCAW Recreation.gov Go-Live FAQ regarding dog leash rules, published in January 2024. Found on the BWCAW FAQ page #16, it asks what responsibilities do you have if you bring a dog? Answer: Dogs must be always under human control on a 6-foot or shorter leash. Dogs endanger wildlife and barking intrudes on the experience. Dispose of dog waste 200 feet from water, campsites, portages, or put it in a latrine. Annually, visitors lose dogs within the BWCAW due to a run-away or wildlife encounter, please follow the law to protect your dog and wildlife.
