Anyway, our group of 6 to 9 guys (depending on availability) decided on this year's route this past weekend, and we plan on starting at the McFarland Lake Campground and doing a loop through the Pike Lakes and back through the Canadian border lakes. This is our first time going in on the far east portion of the BWCA. This will be year 14... I think, so we are fairly experienced. We use outfitters for canoes, and from what I can tell, the closest outfitter that services this area would be Clearwater Outfitters. Of course "closest" is all relative, and there's a steep fee to get canoes out there. We don't mind paying it if it's truly the best option. For those that have been in this area before, is Clearwater Outfitter the best option for canoes? What about the permit? We would be picking the permit up Saturday before hitting the water Sunday, exact dates yet to be decided. Thanks in advance for your help! |

I agree that Sawtooth Outfitters might be the best option for you. Right on your way, no detours. They are great to work with, I have been using them for several years. As long as you have a couple vehicles they should be able to mount enough canoes for your group. |

Sawtooth looks like a great option. I'll give them a call. Thanks! |
