Choose a Route

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.

Choose a route

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?
