Choosing Your BWCA Canoe Route

The Best BWCA Routes and Quetico Routes For Your Canoe Trip

As part of our service, we help you plan the best Boundary Waters Canoe Area wilderness and Quetico Provincial Park canoe routes for your trip. We know the BWCA and Quetico wildernesses well, and can help you choose the canoe route to best meet your needs. We then make sure you are completely familiar with your equipment before you leave our dock for your adventure.  And we carry the best BWCA maps and Quetico maps, too. We recommend you purchase the appropriate W.A. Fisher Boundary Waters Canoe Area map for your route in our shop once your route is determined.

Customized Boundary Waters Route Planning for Maximum Enjoyment

The Canoe Country is a vast area, and from our post on Moose Lake, near Ely, Minnesota, you can strike out in any direction. It is important that you choose the entry point and route that is best for your BWCA canoe trip. You may desire a challenging or more relaxing circular route, or you may prefer to set up a base camp, one or two days out, and make side trips from there.  Or you may simply want to do a day trip.  We help you with BWCA and Quetico canoe trip planning.

Whatever the case, we will help you make the final selection of your route. We will go over the route in detail on W A Fisher maps, which are large-scale waterproof Boundary Waters Canoe Area maps, marking the best campsites, fishing holes, and points of interest, such as Indian pictographs and waterfalls. The maps also mark every portage in the Boundary Waters. We stock all of the maps that you will need on your trip.
