The recent warm weather in March has started us all thinking about summer and the open water season. It is getting to be time when trip reservations should be made and plans started for your summer canoe trip.



If you are a first time visitor to the area, the famed Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness of northeastern Minnesota and the Quetico Provincial Park of Ontario comprise the largest waterways wilderness in the world. This huge area with its thousands of lakes is dedicated to the paddling canoer. We travel and explore this country as temporary visitors, leaving only our footprints.



Each visit to this area is a wilderness adventure. You encounter a never ending variety of clear water lakes and enjoy nature as it happens - from a feeding moose to a calling loon, fishing for a tasty walleye to listening to the crackle of your campfire, or just enjoying the fading sunset as dusk settles in the Gunflint wilderness.



We invite you to join us for an adventure trip in this vast wilderness area. A sampling of our many guided and unguided trips for people of all ages, abilities and inclinations are described in the pages you can click on from the above list on the left.



Our unique trips set the standards for adventure in the Boundary Waters country, from our care for the environment, to the thorough planning of your trip and the commitment to excellence we offer based on our 70+ years of outfitting at Gunflint.
