Boundary Waters Outfitters - Ely MN (The Original)

A few photos from our guests over the past week. From calm mornings on the water to stunning sunsets in the evening and of course fish stories that will be told for a lifetime, it’s been a great start to the season in canoe country.

We still have plenty of beautiful summer nights ahead of us. Thank you to everyone who continues to share their Boundary Waters adventures with us!

Solo trips in the Boundary Waters come with their own unique challenges, but that’s part of what makes them so enjoyable.

You set the pace, choose when to travel, and decide how to spend each day. Whether it’s tackling a longer portage, finding the perfect campsite, or landing a fish with no one around to witness it, there’s a special sense of satisfaction that comes from doing it yourself.

For many paddlers, a solo trip becomes one of their most memorable wilderness experiences.

A few photos from our guests over the past week. Summer is in full swing here in the Northwoods, and the Boundary Waters are looking as good as ever. Great fishing, beautiful weather, and unforgettable days on the water have made for an incredible start to the season.

Fall is right around the corner, and with it comes some of the best outdoor opportunities of the year. Grouse hunting starts up, big fish are prominent , and the summer crowds begin to disappear.

October is one of our favorite times to explore the Boundary Waters, which is why we offer discounted outfitting rates for fall paddlers. If a quiet campsite, trophy fish, and peak Northwoods scenery sound appealing, now is the time to start planning!

Give us a call at 218-365-3466 to start your fall adventure.

A few of our guides had the opportunity to get out on a trip to the border over the last couple of weeks.

Trips like these help our staff and guides stay familiar with current conditions so we can better prepare our guests for their own adventures.

Be sure to check out some of the services they offer!

Big northern pike continued to show up this last week! Here are a few catches from our guests. Water temperatures are warming up, fish are getting active, and the early season bite has been excellent so far!

Summer has officially arrived in the Northwoods! The temps are climbing into the 80s, the forest is turning green, and canoe season is in full swing.
