Grand portage rates and schedules posted

Post by Lucky Chicken »

the schedules and rates for the boats coming from Grand Portage have posted on their website. Still waiting on the reservation system, but it is good to know my dates still work!

Looks like the rate from Grand Portage to Windigo went up $2 this year... not too bad.

I'm attempting to book a trip and am having no trouble with selecting an outbound reservation (Grand Portage - Windigo), but when I try to select a return trip from beyond Windigo (using Malone Bay, Chippewa Harbor or Rock Harbor) back to Grand Portage on any applicable Tues-Thurs-Sun, I get no results to select. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

That will be experienced by anyone trying to book a return trip at this point. The programmers have not completed the loading of the new schedule and I've been informed that the VII inbound has yet to be loaded. We will update the news and events link on the homepage as soon as things are fully operational. Based on the progress that has been made I think it will be ready early next week though.
Thanks
