The Boundary Waters and Quetico are special places that hold a variety of wilderness experiences for a variety of different groups. No matter what your group's goals and experience levels, we can help you plan the Boundary Waters canoe trip that best fits your crew.
Your group layout will help us determine which canoe route is best for your Boundary Waters canoe trip. Here are a few things to consider when thinking about your group:
There are many different types of Quetico and Boundary Waters canoe trips. We will customize your route to best fit your group's interests. Below are a few items for you to consider.
To enter the BWCA or Quetico, you need an entry permit for a specific location on a specific date. Entry permits are limited so it is important to plan in advance.

We can accommodate canoe trips of any length. There are many factors, but we typically recommend 5 days or more to allow time to leave the hustle bustle at home and get into rhythm with the wilderness. That said, a shorter trip might better suit your group; there are lots of great Quetico and Boundary Waters routes for short trips.
Now that we know who is going, when, and what you are looking for, we can start talking about specific route options. If you haven’t already, this is the time to call us at 800-223-6565. Our outfitting managers Drew and Adam can help you sift through the hundreds of miles of canoe routes and find the one that best fits your crew.
Once we have a route in mind, the next step is to reserve the permit for the appropriate entry point on the appropriate date. We will walk you through this process.
The next step is to determine what gear you have and what gear you will need to rent from us. We can help you with as much or as little gear as you need for your trip. The Boundary Waters Packing List will help get you started.
