Adventure


Outfitting
We'll tailor a canoe trip for your family and friends. You make your own Boundary Waters permits and Quetico Provincial Park permits (888-668-7275) and we'll do the rest. Wilderness permits are required and limited, so advanced reservations are advised. Keep in mind 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 a night at Voyageur. After a good nights rest and a hearty breakfast you start your trip prepared. You choose the number of days you're on the trail. After your trip we’ll have a hot sauna and a warm dinner available to complete the whole northwoods experience.
