With more than 200,000 visitors annually, the Boundary Waters Canoe
Area Wilderness is among the most alluring wilderness areas in the
country, unique because it is most often explored by canoe.
Comprised of more than one million acres, the BWCAW is an
exceptional combination of expansive wilderness, abundant wildlife,
and fascinating natural and human history. Exploring the Boundary
Waters is the most comprehensive trip planner to the BWCAW, giving
travelers an overview of each entry point into the wilderness area
as well as detailed descriptions of more than one hundred specific
routes - including a ranking of their difficulty level and maps
that feature the major waterways, portages, and the designated
campsites. The book is crafted so that readers can design their own
route through the almost inexhaustible network of lakes and
streams. Daniel Pauly, Boundary Waters expert, worked with the U.S.
Forest Service, the Minnesota DNR, and local outfitters to gather
information about how to obtain a permit, the rules and regulations
of the park, safety tips, and how to help maintain the ecological
integrity of the wilderness. As engaging as it is informative,
Exploring the Boundary Waters not only contributes advice on the
pros and cons of each route, but also brings the reader a natural
and historical context for the journey by offering insight into the
pictographs, mining sites, logging railroads, and ruins one may
encounter throughout his or her expedition. With its accessible and
personal style, Exploring the Boundary Waters is the perfect guide
for anyone - novice or seasoned veteran - arranging a trip to the
BWCAW. A companion Web site, http://www.boundarywatersguide.com,
presents useful information that can be downloaded for planning a
trip, including gear lists, overview maps, and route updates.
