Northern Minnesota flooding causes Boundary Waters chaos, steelhead losses
Published: , in Outdoor News
When Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness campers Nole Oltesvig and Rylan Kollberg left their tent to survey the aftermath of a rainstorm June 19, at first they encountered heavy sediment buildup where they’d intended to launch their canoe at the Big Lake public access. Then they noticed a boulder or two at the landing which, Oltesvig said, seemed peculiar.
Then they saw what was left of the road after likely more than 7 inches of rain had drenched the area, washed out the access road while leaving a boulder path in its wake, and, at least temporarily, stranding the 36-year-olds from Wisconsin.
