5Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness Area Canoe Trip, Minnesota
This area in northern Minnesota is a great place for a canoe trip. The area has an undeveloped feel for a number of different reasons. Motorized vehicles are prohibited.
Every year, only a limited number of permits are available, and the campsites are a minimum of one-quarter of a mile away from each other. There are nearly one million acres here and more than 2,000 lakes. Plan on a multi-day trip.
Here you will paddle across the water and carry your canoe and gear across the land multiple times as you venture into the wilderness. You can establish a base camp and stick to exploring the nearby lakes or pack up daily and explore the area more deeply. Beginners are welcome but it’s recommended that you have at least one experienced canoeist-camper with you.
