Ely, MN: Gateway to the Boundary Waters & Quetico Park

Fishing in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area & Quetico Provincial Park The pristine territory of Ely Minnesota, surrounded by these Boundary Waters Canoe Area lakes, has been preserved through the cooperative efforts of the US & Canadian Federal governments, along with Ontario Provincial & Minnesota State governments and outfitters as they respectively administer the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) and Quetico Provincial Park.

The portages, paths winding between lakes, once used by the French trappers and voyageurs of the Hudson's Bay Company, remain unchanged over centuries of use. Canoe trip fishing in the Boundary Waters centers around smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye.

Within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) the ageless sights and sounds and smells of emerald pine forests and sapphire blue lakes are now awaiting your arrival here in the BWCA Wilderness. We are looking forward to assisting your canoe trip with our knowledge of the area, our top quality equipment, and convenient BWCA outfitters services.
