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.

Partial Outfitting

If you plan on packing your own gear for your trip, please be sure your equipment is Boundary Waters friendly! The car camping tent does not work well here!! Your equipment (and food) has to be lightweight, compact and in good working order. You will be paddling and portaging everything you bring for several days and bulky, heavy items can ruin your experience. We can help you decide on some items but "if in doubt, leave it out."

 Canoe & Food Packages
Have your own gear but need a canoe and don't want to shop, pre-cook, and pack all that food. Below is a package designed just for you. Kevlar canoes are some of the fastest and lightest recreational canoes made today. You can rest assured that we've got you covered from transportation to the bedtime snack.

Kevlar Canoe & Food Package:              $69 per person / per day
  (2 person minimum - includes a 42lb Kevlar Canoe)

The Canoe & Food Package includes your canoe, paddles, life jackets and all the food for the trip packed into a portage pack.
*This package does not include kitchen equipment*
