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.
This is a good reference for items you may need to get if you do not have them already.
What to Pack:
We suggest you take two complete sets of clothing on your canoe trip. Wear one and pack one.
▪ 2 Pair Pants (preferably not jeans, they do not dry well when wet)

▪ Water Bottles (32oz Nalgene type is best)
