Don't miss the BWCA this Fall

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area is ablaze with Fall colors right now.  We drove the Echo Trail on a guided day trip to Hegman Lake and then east on the Fernberg Road to deliver canoes and kayaks this past weekend. The tree colors were fabulous with the contrast between the conifers, maples, birch, aspen and oaks.

Near the pictographs on Hegman we stopped to see pitcher plants, insect eating plants that look like water pitchers, growing in a bog. We were the only canoe on the lake...what a joy that was. My guest from Phoenix AZ commented that our day trip was the highlight of his visit. And no BUGS!

Spend time in and around the BWCA this time of year. You will not be disappointed.

Fish Dance Pictographs - July 2013

Todd F. a long term customer sent us these images of Fishdance Lake pictographs from a recent trip he guided for his BSA troop from Wisconsin.  Thanks Todd for your contribution.  We will be sending you a Spirit of the Wilderness T-shirt as a token of our appreciation.

Join in the fun
Email us your photos and BWCA/Quetico story and if we publish it on our blog we will send you a Spirit of the Wilderness t-shirt as a thank you. Be sure to include your name, mailing address, phone number and shirt size.

Traveling to Fishdance takes 1-2 days. Enter at Lake One, entry point 30F, travel through Lake Two, Three, Four, Hudson, Insula (a great walleye lake), across Alice then a southerly turn to Fishdance. Be sure to spend a night or two on the southern campsites of Fishdance. You will feel it it one of the most remote areas you will visit in the BWCA.
