Has the Boundary Waters been on your “Bucket List” for years? If yes, then we have created a canoe trip for you! Join us as we set out into the wild in wonderful ultra-light Kevlar canoes and top-quality gear. Our guide for this trip is LynnAnne Vesper who has been with us for many years and really knows these waters and woods. She is ready to share her stories and skills with you during this incredible week. As a bonus, she has a plan to create a special menu while enjoying the beauty of the wilderness.
This canoe trip is planned as a basecamp and an easy trip overall. We invite first-timers and folks looking for a more relaxing experience, but all are welcome.
It’s a great way to take a canoe trip in the BWCAW off your list of things you have wanted to do in your lifetime. You won’t regret it!!

Things to know about a BWCAW Trip before signing up:
- This is wilderness camping. Portages and campsites will have uneven ground. You will be walking over rocks, roots, in the water, and up/down paths. It is important to feel comfortable with your mobility on uneven terrain.
- On a canoe trip, it is important to be able to get in and out of a canoe on your own. The landings can be slippery and rocky. You will also have to get up off the ground whether it’s from your tent or camp chair.
- We will be portaging on this canoe trip. You will have to carry everything that you bring for the trip (remember to pack accordingly). It’s okay to make multiple trips, but you should be able to carry a pack (30-50lbs) over uneven terrain.
- A BWCAW trip requires teamwork. The guide will take a lead role on camp chores and portaging but be prepared to pitch in to help the group.
Please Note: A $300 deposit is required to hold your spot. Final payment for this trip is due 30 days before the trip and is non-refundable. Please look into trip insurance if needed.
