The Boundary
Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is a protected wilderness area covering
over 1 million acres of the Superior National Forest. As a
paddling destination the BWCA
offers over a thousand miles of canoe routes traveling through
interconnected lakes. The area is abundant with wildlife, including
moose, wolves, black bears, martins, fishers, lynx, otters,
loons, and many other species of birds and mammals. The BWCA is also a
popular fishing destination, with large populations of walleye, trout,
pike, small mouth bass, and more localized populations
of other game fish. The BWCA is enjoyed by thousands of people
each year, and as such there are many regulations on travel in the
area. Please try to respect these rules, knowing that the
efforts of the paddlers before you are the only reason this beautiful
wilderness still exists.
