Paddlers' Paradise

Boundary Waters- Voyageurs Waterway


Along the international boundary between Lake Superior and Lac La Croix in Quetico Provincial Park is a string of rock-rimmed lakes, narrow river channels and portages that once formed a main fur trade route to the west. Modern voyageurs can trace this route past rapids, waterfalls, gorges, cliffs, beaver dams and lakes innumerable. Relax on a sunwarmed rock and listen to the lonely cries of loons and wolves and... silence. Canoe country. Awesome.
