Recreational fire restrictions lifted on Superior National Forest

On Friday, May 14 at 12 p.m. the Forest Service will lift current fire restrictions allowing the use of campfires, charcoal, and wood-burning camp stoves on all national forest system lands at all times of the day within the Superior National Forest which includes the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. According to the Forest Service fire danger has been greatly reduced by recent precipitation; however, visitors are being urged to exercise caution and use designated fire grates.
