Canoeing the Boundary Waters Canoe Area:

BWCA

Located along the U.S.-Canadian border between Minnesota and Ontario, the Boundary Waters have been a popular destination for explorers, adventurers, and active travelers for decades. Spread out over more than a million acres of wilderness, this region is made up of dense forests, sprawling lakes, and a spiderweb of interconnecting rivers and streams. For anyone looking to get away from it all, this is a place where you can leave the trappings of civilization behind and immerse yourself in nature that has remained largely untouched by man for centuries.

There are dozens of entry points to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, a 1.09 million acre wilderness within the Superior National Forest, primarily used for canoeing and fishing with the proper permits.
