Behold the throne of the Boundary Waters! 

All BWCA designated campsites have open-air pit latrine toilets like this one.  They provide for a nicely hygienic campsite.  Toilet paper can go in the latrine, but it is important to remember that the latrines are not for trash.

It is a little known fact that BWCA campsites are assigned administrative numbers by the U.S. Forest Service.  Each campsite is identified by lake name and campsite number.  You’ll find the number written on the latrine.  The latrine shown here is at Eskwagama Lake Campsite #1.
