BWCA Gear Guide

Whether you like to sleep under the stars or cuddle up in a cozy cabin with a kitchen, bathroom and gas fireplace for those cool evenings; Voyageur Canoe Outfitters offers something for everyone and can provide for all your Gunflint Trail vacation needs. We offer complete outfitting (food included) and partial outfitting (canoes, equipment, etc), as well as bunkhouse stays, cabins, boat and motor rentals, tow services and more! Voyageur Canoe Outfitters is conveniently located on the edge of the most beautiful, lake based and paddle only wilderness in the world. Our location on Saganaga Lake and the Seagull River (BWCA entry point #55), allows for a relaxed atmosphere prior to your Boundary Waters or Quetico canoe trip adventure. Upon arriving at this magnificent lakefront setting, you can expect a heart felt greeting from our crew as well as a feeling of tranquility and peace. The beauty of the Boundary Waters natural wilderness and its exceptionally fresh air will cause you to breathe a deep sigh of relief, as the cares of your daily world begin to melt away. We strive to make your vacation enjoyable and without worries. Voyageur Canoe Outfitters has the best crew ever. We love living here at the end of the Gunflint Trail and we absolutely love introducing other people to the magic of the BWCA & Quetico. We are excited each morning when we wake up and we go to sleep smiling every night. We feel blessed and lucky to be here and we hope to meet you someday so that we can share this experience with you too. Once you paddle through Voyageur we believe you will never want to outfit anywhere else. We are confident that you will completely enjoy your time with us and we guarantee your satisfaction. Think about it, life is too short and vacations are even shorter. It makes the best sense to go with a sure thing. Our guests sometimes choose to share their VCO experience with us. We are grateful to them and we hope to see them all again soon! * Don Shelby says, "I spend a lot of quality time in the Superior-Quetico. The Quetico is particularly special to me. On our last trip, I asked Mike of Voyageur Canoe Outfitters to find us a remote route. He found one with three lakes and a river with no names. We were alone. Exactly the way I wanted it. When I go into the Quetico, I rely on Voyageur Canoe Outfitters, whether it's a tow or complete outfitting, nobody does it better." * Tom & Alekzander Hall says, "Don't even know where to begin shy of saying THANK YOU Voyageur Canoe Outfitters!!!! This was my 1st trip to the Boundary Waters and one that I had been looking forward to for 5 years. When my son was turning 8 I told him that when he was turning 13 we would do a week long BWCA trip together. Knowing very well that once he hits the "Fume Years" (Gas Fumes and Perfumes) that he may have other priorities. The BWCA trip was perfect. The staff at Voyageur's was outstanding, the bunk house the night before departure was comfy, the canoe was outstanding and the food way better than what I would have packed. We covered 18 Lakes, 20 Portages and had a little bit of everything on this Boundary Waters trip: Canoeing in the rain for about an hour, sunny weather, calm winds, gusty winds, a storm at night, great fishing (my son caught his 1st Smallmouth and 1st Northern) and just about everything else I could have wanted out of the trip. I have already begun recommending Voyageurs to my friends in the Las Vegas Canoe Club and really looking forward to doing the trip with my 9 year old in a few years. Thanks again everyone, you have helped create outstanding memories that both my son and I will have for the rest of our lives."
