It is also one of the most accessible wilderness areas in the United States. Over one million acres in size, the Boundary Waters covers much of the Superior National Forest in northeastern Minnesota. Paddle among towering pines in the home of moose, lynx, wolves, and bald eagles. We will use an outfitter, Wilderness Inquiry BWCA to insure our adventure is the best it can be.
