Isn’t it time to treat yourself, your family, or friends to a brand new adventure? You’re never too young or old to take a guided canoe camping trip through Minnesota’s beautiful Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

Abundant wildlife, breathtaking natural beauty, cool sky blue waters, the BWCAW-Quetico is a freshwater paradise of over 3,000 interconnected lakes, rivers and streams covering more than 2.5 million acres.  

Depending on your schedule and interests, we can plan out a trip that will take you directly to the perfect campsite and set up a stationary base camp, or we can pack 'ultra-light' with the plan on traveling across many beautiful lakes exploring, fishing and camping as we go.  

A few reasons people like to take trips into the BWCA...

• See breathtaking natural scenery with abundant wildlife - like black bears, timber wolves, bald eagles, moose, deer, otters and beavers, mink, martins, chipmunks and squirrels, ducks, geese, and grouse, frogs and toads, loons, seagulls and many different song birds.  Trees like white & red pines, white spruce and black spruce, red and white cedars, balsam fir and jack pine, tamaracks, birches, aspen, maples and poplar. Eat fresh wild foods like delicious wild strawberries, blueberries and red raspberries, or peel some fresh hazelnuts for roasting on the fire!  Around each corner or twist in the river, the unexpected, enchanting beauty seems to only get more intense as the trip goes on.
• Catch some of the best fighting and tasting fish (get your name in the paper with the big one!)  like evasive walleye, vicious northern pike, deep cold water lake trout or delicious brook trout.
• See ancient Indian pictographs.
• If base camping, take extended day trips - canoeing and portaging exercise that will invigorate you mind and body.
• Take photographs.
• See the amazing Northern Lights or Perseid meteorite showers.
• Swim, cliff jump or dive into crystal clear drinking water quality glacial lakes and rivers.
• Enjoy old fashioned, home style meals prepared over the open campfire.
• Enjoy the silence, peace and tranquility of true wilderness solitude. 
• Get exercise, fresh air and tons of sunlight. 
• Relax, recharge, reflect, rejuvenate, get a tan

When it comes to finding where the fish are biting, Sean is an expert guide.   Catching fish is guaranteed. Walleyes and Brook Trout are our specialty.

In addition to canoe camping trips during the ice free season,  Sean also outfits and leads winter camping/fishing expeditions into the BWCA.  We travel by mukluks, ice cleats, snowshoe, dogsled, or snowmobile, depending on conditions.  We use canvas tents and lightweight titanium wood burning stoves on each trip.   These are as we like to call them - 'warm' winter camping trips.  Even if it's minus 20 degrees and a howlin' blizzard outside, we can crank up the stove and the temperature inside the tent rises to 70+ F.  When the 'fish on!' flag goes up try your luck running out to a 'tip-up' ice fishing rig and pull out a trophy brook trout or walleye out of the ice hole.
