Boundary Waters Canoe Area - A Whole New World

Between Lake Superior and Lake of the Woods, lies a vast network of smaller lakes and streams - a region once famous as the water highway of the Voyageurs. In the heart of this wilderness lies the United States' Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) and Ontario's Quetico Provincial Park. They join together to form an area of more than two million acres known as the canoe country. A Boundary Waters and Quetico Park canoe trip is more than just a route on a map - more than merely "camping out". Evening campfires, the resounding slap of a beaver's tail, the call of a loon, the breeze through the pines... this is the canoe country.
