BWCA Canoe Trips
Outfitted Overnight BWCA Canoe Trips
Picture a night sky studded with stars or streaked with northern lights. The eerie wail of a loon echoing across the water. The crackle and warm glow of an evening campfire. And the sizzle of freshly-caught fish in the fry pan. These are some of the special sights and sounds of the wilderness you’ll experience on an overnight canoe trip.
