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.
Boundary Waters Outfitters (formerly Timber Trail Outfitters) has been sending people into the wilderness area now known as the Boundary Waters since 1939. Our lakeside resort is located right on the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and is an ideal place to begin your wilderness adventure.
Having canoed, camped and fished the vast majority of Minnesota's Boundary Waters and Canada's Quetico Park we are well equipped to guide you through planning your wilderness canoe trip. Ely and the Boundary Waters is where we make our home; we are passionate about what we do and hope to be able to share our experiences and knowledge with you when visiting this magnificent place. The Boundary Waters Canoe Area...see it for yourself...the wilderness is waiting.
Boundary Waters Outfitters is located seven miles outside of Ely, Minnesota on a chain of four interconnected lakes. Our outfitter offers accommodations ranging from six to eight beds in size. Across from the accommodations wing is our canoe outfitting headquarters where we plan, pack and assist customers heading into the wilderness.
Our outfitting facility is one of the best in the area and has been featured in multiple newspapers, magazines and television shows. The most recent happened this year on CNN, where we filmed a short special for America’s Backroad with former NFL player Coy Wire.
For a true wilderness experience you will remember for years to come, plan your next vacation with Boundary Waters Outfitters. We are here to help you make the most of your Northwoods experience.
