Located
in Northeastern Minnesota, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area
Wilderness
(BWCA)
has a ~million acres of wilderness, with over 1,000
pristine lakes and streams, and over 1500 miles of canoe
routes. It is considered by some as the most beautiful
wilderness they have ever seen. National Geographic
named it one of 50 Destinations of a Lifetime. In
other words, a vacation you do not want to miss.
The
BWCA is a true wilderness experience, without motors, no
electricity, no telephone lines, and no roads to the inner
lakes. Fall is a wonderful time to visit the Boundary Waters
and its surrounding award winning resort communities of Ely,
Gunflint,
Grand
Marais, Isabella/Finland,
and Crane
Lake.
