“I never found a companion… so companionable as solitude.”Henry David Thoreau
Paddling Along the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) on a Snowy September Day. Set aside in 1926 to preserve its primitive character, the BWCAW is a unique area, comprising over 1 million acres in northeastern Minnesota adjacent to Canada's Quetico Provincial Park. In this vast and primitive wilderness area, one can fully experience nature's freedom, solitude, and challenge in its more than 1200 miles of canoe routes, 15 hiking trails, and 2000 designated campsites.
