Dry conditions and gusty winds will lead to near-critical fire weather conditions today. South winds of 10 to 20 mph with gusts of 25 to 35 mph are expected with minimum relative humidity values of 30 to 35 percent. Together, these conditions could lead to the rapid spread of fires. Check burning restrictions and fire danger before burning. For more information on burning restrictions for Minnesota, see www.dnr.state.mn.us/forestry/fire/firerating_restrictions.html.

About

The Wanaki Boat Access was historically a boat launch facility on Cass Lake within the Chippewa National Forest's Norway Beach Recreation Area. This site has since been converted to an extension of the Mi Gi Zi (Migizi) bike trail, a 19-mile paved loop around Pike Bay named for the Ojibwe word for bald eagle. No overnight camping is available at the former Wanaki Boat Access location. Campers seeking lakeside sites with boat access should consider Wanaki Loop campground nearby, which offers developed campsites with flush toilets, showers, and access to Cass Lake via the recreation area's boat ramps.

Directions

From Cass Lake, Minnesota, take U.S. Highway 2 east approximately 4 miles to Norway Beach Recreation Area.
