Good to Know...
It is important to note that BWCA entry permits are reserved on a first come, first serve basis so the earlier you reserve your trip the better chance you have of securing the best entry point.
Ely Minnesota is the home of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA), a wilderness encompassing over 1 million acres of woodlands and waterways in the heart of Superior National Forest. Located along the Canadian Border, the Boundary Waters is the largest wilderness preserve east of the Rockies. As the Boundary Waters main launching point, Ely Minnesota offers many canoe trip options from over 20 different entry points and over 1,500 miles of canoe routes and 2,000 solitary campsites.
There is a delicate balance here. As you plan your trip to the Boundary Waters, remember that the steps you take today to preserve this area will benefit not only you, but also future generations. Please enjoy and take good care of this precious resource.
