This is one of the more dramatic routes in the Boundary Waters because it contains a great deal of history, scenery and some of the best fishing within the BWCA! Along this route you will learn about early Native American history as you view a ceremonial area used by Ojibway Braves and see the markings, known as pictographs, they left on granite cliffs many years ago. Continuing on you will cross a portage enroute to one of several majestic waterfalls and famed fishing waters. It should be noted that good things don’t come easy and this route is not for those fearful of big lakes or unwilling to portage. A Fly-in option is available which can shave up to two days off your travel time.
If you are going to take the shortest route our Ultra-Light Package will be more than enough. If you intend to take the longest route and get back into the wilderness you will want the lighter Kevlar Explorer Package.
