The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness – BWCA, protected as a true American wilderness, has changed little since the glaciers melted. Canoeing, and fishing opportunities are nearly endless on the more than 2,000 lakes and streams found within the forest. With 1,500 miles of canoe routes, nearly 2,200 designated campsites, and more than 1,000 lakes and streams waiting, the BWCA boast some of the country’s finest fishing for walleye, northern pike, and smallmouth bass.
The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. It is managed by the United States Forest Service. North Country, under contractual agreement as a “Cooperator”, works with the Kawishiwi Ranger District, on the Superior National Forest. We also hold Guide/Packer Agreements, as well as Towboat / Van Agreements, with the Forest Service.
