Camping/Canoeing in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. One of the most popular and breathtaking places in Minnesota, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area is the definition of “Getaway”. With only 200,000 people allowed to visit annually, this wilderness, encompassing over 1,000 lakes is the number one paddle sport destination in the U.S. The solitude, excellent fishing and extraordinary scenery make this camping at its absolute finest.
