Boundary Waters Canoe Trips High Adventure Trips
Boundary Waters Outfitters offers High Adventure Trips into the BWCA Wilderness. These trips include multiple travel days and usually cover fifty plus miles over a 5 to 8 day period. These trips focus on penetrating the canoe country and “leave no trace” wilderness ethics.
A typical High Adventure Canoe Trip includes daily travel of 6 to 10+ miles per day depending on the groups abilities and canoe route chosen. A 7-day trip, for example, might include 5 days of travel with 2 layover days used for exploring the area around your campsite.
Some trip activities and discussion items may include:
Fishing
Swimming
Cooking
Campsite Cleanup
Photography
Hiking
Wildlife Viewing
To Plan a High Adventure Trip please give us a call. We customize each High Adventure Trip to what your group and organization require. We will plan a detailed route through the wilderness to ensure your group is able to accomplish all the intended goals. High Adventure Trips are the best way to explore areas of the BWCA Wilderness seldom seen by most canoe country travelers
Outfitting Packages:
When planning a High Adventure Trip please select one of the outfitting packages in our Non-Profit Groups section.
Scout Groups:
Both Bill Forsberg Sr and Bill Forsberg Jr have been very active in scouting throughout their lives, whether as active scouts, as a Scout Master for Bill Sr or working with all the scouting groups we have outfitted over the years. We are please to offer our knowledge and assistance to help ensure a safe and fun Boundary Waters trip for your scout troop.
Boundary Waters Outfitters works with several scout groups each year helping them plan their route, supplying and packing the gear and food, providing fishing, camping and paddling instructions as well as reserving all the necessary permits. We will do a complete trip orientation for the leaders and scouts before you set off into the wilderness.
50-Miler Award for Scouts
Many scout groups use this opportunity to achieve the 50 Miler Award.
The primary objective of this program is to stimulate Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts and Venture interest in the ideals of the movement and to promote activity that will result in personal fitness, self-reliance, knowledge of wood lore, and a practical understanding of conservation.
If you would like a copy of the 50-Miler Award application please give us a call and we will send it to you.
