Boundary Waters (BWCA) Canoe Trips: Adventure Awaits You

Boundary Waters canoe trip is more than just a route on a map… more than merely “camping out.” It is a journey into the land of discovery, where ancient foot trails tell of intrepid Voyageurs… Radisson, Hennepin, DuLhut, Nicollet, MacKenzie and LaVerendrye.

Here you will sleep in the serenity that surrounds the dying embers of your evening campfire… with the stillness broken only by the resounding slap of a beaver’s tail, the haunting call of a loon, the lulling murmur of a waterfall or the whisper of a breeze through towering pines. If you listen carefully you can almost hear the soft tread of an Indian moccasin lingering through the years. This is the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) country. Here you can enjoy nature at its finest.
