DescriptionCanoe Country consists of the BWCA-Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness of northeastern Minnesota (in green) and the Quetico Provincial Park of Ontario, Canada (in tan). More than two million acres of International border lakes that are interconnect by portages, and canoe trails, which Voyageurs crossed hundreds of years ago. Today, "you" the modern day Voyageur, can paddle one of the most incredible places. The pristine lakes and spectacular sunsets will bring you back every year. Opportunities also exist for hiking, kayaking, fine freshwater fishing, winter camping, dogsledding, cross country skiing, or snowshoeing. Most importantly this place will help us realize that we must preserve this phenomenal resource of "Wilderness." Entry points into the BWCA are established to help regulate the flow of visitors and increase your solitude experience.
The Boundary Waters Canoe Area has a rich, interesting history. Including attempts to make the area open to lodges, cabins, and extensive motorized travel. One individual attempted to include dams in many areas of the Wilderness many years ago. One of the BWCA's most controversial times came in 1978, when the BWCA Wilderness Act was put into force. Sigurd Olson, an environmental writer of the time, wrote of the feeling of wilderness and its impact upon others. Locals and other visitors were more interested in maintaining the motorized travel and other amenities that had been allowed in the BWCA. Since 1978, other acts have been put into place and are under debate still today. Enjoy the Boundary Waters, and learn more about its history!
