Resting along the Canadian border and connected to the Quetico National Reserve, this special land is one of enchantment. A delight to the senses, a symphony of sights, sounds, and smells; magic fills the air. Water and trees, fish and wildlife, flora and fauna - all are found here in abundance.

To appreciate the wilderness fully, it must be experienced. Immerse yourself in its tactile beauty. It's not difficult. Climb into a canoe or boat and head down the lake; or hike one of the area's many trails.

Before you realize, the exact day slips away; it could be Thursday, Monday, or Saturday. It doesn't really matter, for you have left your worries at home. At Bearskin, the cabins have no phones or television to interrupt your relaxation. This is the time and place to get away from it all.  There are no words for how relaxing this vacation experience can be.

When you are away from the wilderness, close your eyes and take a deep breath. Now, slowly exhale and remember what it's like; in an instant, you will be taken. If you've never been here before, it is more beautiful and exciting than you can imagine. Now, open your eyes. You'll be there soon.

Please, respect our wilderness environment, and remember it's the last one we have. Make sure to visit the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness for a fresh look at what this beautiful wilderness area has to offer.
