Outfitting June 1 - September 1
Camp Voyageur is ideally located on a beautiful peninsula on Farm Lake near Ely, Minnesota. Since 1951 Camp Voyageur has provide outdoors enthusiasts with a variety of recreational opportunities on the intricate waterways of northern Minnesota and Canada. Come spend time with us in the northwoods paddling through the pristine wilderness and crystal clear lakes the French Voyageurs called home. Whatever your goals or interests are from fighting a northern pike, to watching loons dance against a spectacular sunset or paddling with family and friends let Camp Voyageur help you make your northwoods dreams come true.
Camp Voyageur was founded in 1951 by Charlie and Mim Erdmann. Their son John and daughter Deb now carry on the tradition of providing complete and partial outfitting, or specialized guided trips canoeing, hiking or sea kayaking. We can also tailor the perfect group retreat for your organization or students.
Canoe from our dock for the day, or hundreds of miles, along the border lakes into the Boundary Waters or the Canadian interior. If you're less ambitious just paddle to an isolated bay on the Kawishiwi River. Our unique location offers endless possibilities for the veteran and novice alike. We paddle 17` Grumman canoes, but also have Royalex and Kevlar canoes available for an additional charge.
Outfitting
We'll tailor a canoe trip for your family and friends. You make your own Boundary Water (1-877-550-6777) or Quetico Provincial Park (888-668-7275) reservation and we'll do the rest. Permits are limited, so advanced reservations are necessary and good permits go early. We encourage you to reserve by January or February if possible. Groups typically arrive the day before the entry permit and spend the first night at Voyageur. After a good nights rest and a hearty breakfast you start your trip. You choose the number of days you're on the trail. After your trip we'll have a hot sauna and a warm dinner to complete the whole northwoods experience.
