What route is best?
The difference between a good canoe trip and a great canoe trip is the route. There are hundreds of possible routes and each route is unique. At Clearwater BWCA Outfitters we help you choose a route that fits your needs and wants.
We can help choose a route that is perfect for your group.
Ask yourself:
- What are the ages and physical conditions of the people in my group?
- Are we more interested in a relaxed pace or a strenuous one?
- How important is fishing to the group?
- Are specific fish species important to the anglers?
- Would we enjoy swimming in a waterfall?
- Do we want to hike and canoe or only canoe?
- Do we want to camp at a different site every night or have a base camp and take day trips away from this camp?
- Am I after some great photos?
- How challenging do I want my portages to be?
- Do we want total seclusion?
