Canoe the Boundary Waters

A Fun Introduction to Canoeing and Camping in the BWCAW

July 7 – 11, 2024

If you’re eager to explore the famed Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and want to develop some skills and experience before venturing out on your own, this fun trip could be exactly what you’re looking for. This is your chance to experience the adventure with the assistance of a professional guide and the opportunity to meet other adventurous folks.

Arrive with a good attitude, a willingness to learn, and the things you wear on trail. This four-day fully outfitted and professionally guided canoe trip is open to all ages. You’ll be geared up with all the best canoeing and camping equipment, including inflatable sleeping pads for a good night’s sleep and comfy trail chairs for lounging at camp.

During four days on the water, expect days of both travel and base-camping. On an optional layover day, we will rest, relax, explore and, if you’d like, fish. Each day will bring new experiences and sights, that could include waterfalls, wildlife, towering old growth white pines, and beautiful Northwoods surroundings. Sign up by yourself, or bring along a friend, too. We look forward to heading out into these beautiful woods with you!
