Thank you, the line on those maps will do fine, I won't be too close to the line.

The green line on the online maps is the BWCA boundary but it is generally is covering up a grey line (depending on
basemap you have selected) which is the border. Scroll to one end or the other of the BWCA to see this.


The Voyageur Maps does show the border. I would use this as a guide, but if you decide to fish really close to this line, I would be using a gps.

I can't imagine the McKenzie and Fisher maps aren't adequate. How close do you want to cut it with the Quetico rangers?

Thanks, so the green line on the BWCA maps page and the red line on Voyageur maps denote the international boundary that I should follow? That is great, but it seems the US Forest Service should have something available too, but I couldn't find anything from them.

Look no further than The Map Store right here on BWCA.com . Voyageur Maps are an excellent option.

Another option is the BWCA maps page . Just click on the letter of the lake name you're looking for (ex: "K" for Knife, etc.), then click on that lake name to see where the border is located, along with campsite, portages and other landmarks.

Where can I find maps that show what are US vs. Canada waters on the border lakes? Mostly interested in Crooked Lake, but is there a good source that will cover all those lakes? Interested for where it is legal to fish with a MN license.
