We want to hear from you.  Call or fill out our contact form so we can send you a brochure.

We start and end trips every day, we work with you to plan a trip itinerary that fits the ages and expertise of your youth, you lead your own trip — the way you want it to be, a trip can be any length of time, we can help you arrange service projects, and you may bring some of your own gear if you wish.

Minnesota’’s Boundary Waters is a true canoe camping wilderness experience: no electricity, no telephone lines, no roads, no docks, no cabins, no motorboats.

Whether fishing for walleye, trout, northern pike, lake trout, small mouth bass, or panfish, we have tips for the best time of year to fish and where to find.

As experienced Boundary Waters Outfitters, we do it all for you: plan your routes, obtain your permits, provide all the canoes, gear and food you need.  Why North Country? For over 35 Boundary Waters canoe trip seasons we have been one of the leading Boundary Waters outfitters  in Ely, Minnesota.  Starting from scratch in 1984, we quickly gained national attention, and rose to the upper level of BWCA Outfitters.  Three decades later, the owners are still the daily, full time, hands-on managers.

We’ll tell you everything we know about the Boundary Waters Wilderness, including fishing tips, routes, plants and animals, what to bring, BWCA history, weather, fire information, rules and regulations, how to choose a campsite – and that’s just the beginning…
