Snowbank Lake Trail and Backcountry Sites

These three sites are backcountry sites:  near-wilderness single party sites accessible only by foot or boat. The sites are available on a first come, first served basis. There are 3 sites on this lake, each with a fire grate, a latrine, and possibly a picnic table.

Access to the 3 sites on this lake is a boat ramp on the South Central part of this lake. This lake is also a enrty point into the BWCAW, when traveling in the Wilderness you need a permit.

A few reminders:

• Hang food packs.
• Put your fire out each time you leave your campsite.
• Treat or boil all water.
• Wash yourself and dishes at least 150ft from any body of water.
• Pack out all garbage.
• Leave No Trace.

Use a Forest Visitor Map to locate campsites and accesses.  This lake may be a part of or has portage or waterway access into the BWCAW.  When portaging or paddling out of this lake and into another you’ll want to check to see if you’ll be entering into the BWCAW.  Permits are always required while traveling in the BWCAW.  If traveling for the day by paddle or foot you can use a self issued permit found at any Ranger District office or at the kiosk at the official entry point.  Motor powered watercraft are permitted only on designated lakes. When traveling overnight or using a motor, see the BWCAW page.
