Boundary Waters-Voyageur Waterway


Boundary Waters-Voyageur Waterway; Quetico, Middle Falls and Voyageur Provincial Parks, Ontario
Paddlers' Paradise
Designated 1996

Along the international boundary extending from the western tip of Lake Superior to 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.
