About the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness
Located within the Superior National Forest – the BWCAW is a designated remote area that is enjoyed via canoe or hiking, as motors and equipment with mechanical advantage are not allowed. As a day guest into the wilderness, you may take a step back in time and enjoy the wilderness more closely than before. Read more on the USFS website here.
