Wear one set during the drive to and from Ely, and leave it in the car during your canoe trip. Wear another set on your canoe trip. Pack away the third set of clothes in a waterproof stuff sack to use in case of emergency - even if you're only out for a weekend. Check out our Gear List for ideas on what to bring for your next BWCA canoe trip. The following items are available separately.
Prices listed are per day.
Choosing a wilderness entry point is the first and most important step in planning your route. The type of scenery, variety of wildlife, number of other travellers and the length of your trip will all depend on which entry point you choose. There are more than 70 entry points into the Boundary Waters but only 29 into the Quetico Park. The best way to assure that your trip is everything you want it to be is to contact one of our outfitting coordinators who will help you plan a route. If you prefer larger lakes with fewer portages, and you don't mind sharing your wilderness with other visitors, that's fine.
