This is the shortest guided day trip and is a great option for beginners or for people with limited time. With a one-mile paddle, a short hike and stunning views from the top of a 400-foot cliff, this trip offers a little bit of everything that makes the Boundary Waters a special place. Though the trail does ascend steeply right away the views into Canada and Clearwater Lake are worth every step. After a brief introduction and paddling tutorial this trip leaves right from the dock in front of the historic lodge and rarely takes more than 2 hours to get out to the top and back. Trip Length: 2 Hours | Trip Start Time: Noon | Trip Dates: Every Saturday and Sunday Trip Difficulty: Easy | Trip Cost: $30/adult | $10/child(12 and under)
This four to five hour guided day trip is a great option for people looking to work a little harder to visit a wilderness waterfall and climb up to some spectacular vistas of one of the most beautiful lakes in the state. This trip will give beginners a taste of paddling and portaging. After a brief introduction and as much paddling and portaging instruction as necessary you will be shuttled and dropped at the east end of West Bearskin Lake where your adventure will begin. Three miles of paddling and one short portage one way make this a moderate trip. Trip Length: 4-5 Hours | Trip Start Time: 10am | Trip Dates: Every Friday Trip Difficulty: Moderate | Trip Cost: $50/adult | $15/child(12 and under)
This is the longest guided day trip we offer out to a lush two-tiered wilderness waterfall in the heart of the Boundary Waters; in the summer it makes for an excellent swimming spot. Four miles of paddling and three portages in one direction makes for a full day on the water; this trip typically takes eight to nine hours. The extra time and work involved in this trip is paid off by accessing a remote location most visitors never see. Trip Length: 8-9 Hours | Trip Start Time: 9am | Trip Dates: Every Wednesday Trip Difficulty: Rugged | Trip Cost: $125/adult
