BWCA Canoeing Trips

Family Canoeing Trips Package

A couple on a family canoeing trip

Canoeing in the BWCA is just one of the activities included in our Family Canoe Trip Package.

You and your family are invited to enjoy all the activities around the lodge, including all the nature programs, while roughing it a bit around the edges by staying in one of our canoer cabins. Your beds will be made up before your arrival along with daily towel service. All your meals are in the lodge Bistro or Justine’s Fine Dining. Depending on your preferences and the ages of your children, they are welcome to eat in the Bistro while mom and dad eat in Justine’s. The naturalists usually offer 4 to 5 activities every day that range from woods hikes to boat or canoeing trips to wildlife searches, etc. On top of all that you also have a boat and motor every day and a 1 hour horseback ride (every day if you choose).

Includes: 4 nights accommodations in a canoer cabin with linens, meals at the lodge, boat, motor, canoes, kayaks, the entire nature program, and a 1 hour horseback ride per person per day. Horseback riders must be a minimum of 7 years old and not over 240 pounds.

 


$495.00 per adult, plus sales tax, service charge and bed tax
$295.00 per child (4 thru 12), plus sales tax, service charge and bed tax


Canoe trip tips...

Seeing a moose is a highlight of a family canoing trip.

Seeing wildlife is a highlight of a family canoe trip.

  • Always wear a personal flotation device — they are mandatory for children under 10 in Minnesota but should be worn by everyone while on the water.

  • Stay close to the shore and don’t enter fast-moving current unless you’re absolutely sure that you can paddle through it. Remember, this is a wilderness area where rescue may be a day away.

  • Pay attention to weather reports and be cautious if heavy rains are expected — streams and rivers can rise rapidly and carry dangerous debris.
