Fly In Destinations
Traveling through seldom visited lakes, rivers, and forests allows the paddler to experience a true wilderness adventure similar to the voyageurs who paddled these same lakes hundreds of years ago.
From the moment you take off, an incredible adventure unfolds beneath the fuselage of your plane as hundreds of miles of lakes pass beneath your wing. After a brief stop at Canadian Customs, we fly you directly to one of four ranger stations situated on the perimeter of the 1800 square mile Quetico Provincial Park.
Our experienced wilderness guides will provide personal routing services, reviewing the map with you in detail, marking the top spots for walleye, smallmouth bass, lake trout and northern pike. We pinpoint historic sites, Ojibwa rock paintings, frothy waterfalls ...and detail the best campsites along the route.

Saganaga Lake
This is a large lake which lies on the eastern edge of the BWCAW and Quetico Park. The lake was a very important link in the fur trade route with a trading post located near Saganaga Falls.

From this entry you have many canoe route options for either BWCAW or Quetico Park trips.

This is another fly-in trip with the option to use the BWCAW or Quetico Park. There are many interesting canoe routes to choose from upon leaving this entry point. Lac LaCroix is home to a spectacular rock bluff covered with historic Chippewa Indian pictographs (rock paintings). Work your way back to Ely along the heavily fought for fur trade route and International border with Canada. Fantastic fishing through some of the most fertile waters in the boundary waters.

There are numerous main routes back to Ely, all fish-filled and exciting.

Nym Lake
From the very top of Quetico Park, take 8 days or more to explore glistening lakes interspersed with sparkling waterfalls and rapids.
