I live in Indiana, we do not need to register our canoe in this state. Do I need to register my canoe in Minnesota to enter the boundary waters? I’m planning a trip in July with my grandson. Any help would be grateful.

No, you do not need to register your canoe for your trip.
“A watercraft license is not required for:
Non-motorized watercraft 10 ft or less, or a watercraft owned by a person from another state and that state does not require licensing of that type of watercraft and it is not within Minnesota for more than 90 consecutive days. See MN Boating Guide for more information.”

Enjoy the trip!!
