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.
