No list of the best in secluded wilderness vacation
getaways would be complete without the Midwest's crown jewel,
the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
Named one of the "50 Places of a Lifetime" to visit
by National Geographic Traveler, this remote wilderness area
stretches some 1.1 million acres across the border of northern
Minnesota and Canada.
Charles Kuralt noted, "If it is absolute solitude you want, you have only to
paddle far enough."
BWCA Day Canoe Trips
Let
premier River Point Outfitting Co. help you plan a self-guided day canoe trip to
enhance your wilderness vacation lodging rental at River Point
Resort. Germany's Lufthansa Magazine says, River Point's "location on Birch Lake is a
good place to set out on day trips."
Everything you'll need for a guaranteed outdoor
canoeing adventure is available for you, from canoes, paddles,
and life jackets to tasty food and BWCA entry point transport.
Plus we'll make sure you have the confidence to do it!
Guided Day Canoe
Fishing Trips
Take a deep breath; this is a day to be savored. One of
our experienced in-house guides will take you and your group
or family into the Boundary Waters
Canoe Area BWCA for a fabulous full day of fishing. If you
are not sure of your canoeing skills, join our instructional
canoe class, or we will arrange a "one-on-one" class just for you prior to the canoe
trip so that you can enjoy your outdoor recreation to the
fullest!
 Walleye,
northern pike, crappies, smallmouth...catch and release, or
catch them, and the guide will "cook em' up."
Whether you are a beginner fisherperson or a seasoned veteran
you will savor this day. If you love canoeing and fishing,
this is the trip for you!
Includes: canoe, life vests, live bait, transport to entry point, fresh
shore lunch cooked over an open campfire, and expert fishing
guide.
1-2 persons: $245/day
Additional person: $40
Deposit: $100
Fishing license, tax, guide gratuity extra.
Rates subject to change without notice.
NOTE: Your day BWCA canoe
trip need not be fishing focused. The focus may be to paddle,
take pictures, and simply for the enjoyment of the incredible
scenery.

BWCA
Camping/Resort Option
The Boundary Waters Canoe Area,
with island-studded lakes and pine-covered
forests, is best suited to canoeing! You
may sample this vast area by camping overnight
for a few days, and also enjoy the comfort of
lodging at the resort for a few days, perhaps,
selecting a villa with a double whirlpool for
your stay. Complete BWCA outfitting includes
the canoe and all other lightweight camping
equipment, quality food, and routing. Check out River Point Outfitting Co. and discover how you can "Paddle the Quiet
Side"®. We offer canoe trips into the BWCA and Canada's Quetico Provincial Park.
The total focus of your vacation may be the canoe
trip or you may combine it with a resort
stay. The choice is yours. |
