We have Voyageur Maps available in our online store. Currently, all maps are in-stock, but supplies are limited. The map's boundaries are also integrated into the online maps so that you can gauge the maps you may may require for your trip.

Adam,
I am thinking about getting a second set of maps for a backup. If I were to purchase these through the site, would BWCA.com get any kickback funds? Just want to help the site out.
Thanks.

Nice of you to ask, Minnesotian. Adam can elaborate if he cares to, but the short answer is yes. BWCA.com buys the maps wholesale and sells them as a retailer, just like any other store. Proceeds support the website.

That is correct. We purchased these and are selling them. If you buy something through the store, you also get a credit for supporting the site.
Thanks for considering it!

I second that on reasonable shipping prices. I got mine a couple of days ago. How nice to be able to order it directly from this site. And some of the money goes to the site. It doesn’t get any better than that.

I like the paper, the color (land is light green not brown and not as "distracting") and detail. McKenzie scale is 1:31,680 so I like it for shoreline paddling. Voyageur is 1:42,340. I like voyageur for planning and big picture (the backside shows all of BWCA). They're a great price, not always that easy to find and good cause.

ryan72: "Just received my maps. Thanks for offering them.
When looking at the fishing table, how do I interpret the clarity figures? Do larger numbers mean better clarity? What do the values represent?"
Yep, higher number means better water clarity. For example, Clearwater Lake off the Gunflint Trail, is at 30, whereas Basswood is at 8.5.
I assume the values reflect readings from a Secchi Disk. A Secchi Disk is a all-white metal plate they lower into the water and record the depth as to which it disappears. So, on Clearwater it is 30 feet. On Basswood it is 8.5 feet.

thanks! I thought it was likely a secchi disk reading but I scoured the maps front and back and couldn't find it to be sure.

Do the Voyageur Maps also have the Voyageur National in another set?
I track the Fall Border Route Challenge using these and need to include the area from Dove Point (Black Bay, Kabetogama) through Namakan to the BWCA entrance at Little Vermillion. I also would like to have the Dawson Portage area. Any ideas??

AmarilloJim: "R these no longer viewable on-line?"
I think they were using Flash Player in order to view. Once I uninstalled it a few days ago, since it’s no longer supported, I now only see a small box in the corner with an “X” in it.

I asked Santa for the set, and he came through! (Well, Mrs. Claus did)
I am not sure "we" got credit for supporting the site, but I also bought some hats, some bungie-dealie-bobs things, so not worried about getting credit for it. I really like these maps so far, but have yet to use them "out yonder." I live in North Carolina, so don't get up there often. Ah well....

If you don't have time to do it right the first time, when are you going to have time to go back and fix it?
