The crew at Ely Outfitting Co. helped make our first trip into the BWCA an excellent experience that we plan to make an annual event. From start to finish the service we received was top notch.

Amazing time in the Boundary Waters thanks to the spectacular crew at Ely Outfitting Company. Spent five nights out camping/canoeing/fishing and had everything we needed thanks to the team here.
