Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW)  Canoe Day Trips

Loon, Wolves, Deer, Bear or even a Moose are the creatures you may encounter on a canoe day trip while staying at Moose Track Adventures.  With over  250,000 acres wilderness outside your cabin door the possibilities are endless.  The following day trips are some of our favorites and range in difficulty from novice to experienced paddlers.


  • North Kawishiwi River:  Picture yourself paddling from your cabin door, across Farm and into the beautiful North Kawishiwi River.  This scenic River is slow moving, loaded with wild rice and provides great habitat for moose, deer, beaver and lots of other north-woods wildlife.  Keep you eyes open for eagles and ospreys as you paddle your canoe past picnic island (great swimming and picnic spot) and through the island studded narrows towards Murphy's rapids.  Did we mention the great fishing on the river?


  • Clear Lake:  From the North Kawishiwi River, you can portage into Clear Lake.  This gin clear lake is an excellent spring walleye hole and offers you a more challenging day trip.  You can even make it more challenging by portaging into Eshwagama into the South Kawishiwi River and back to Clear Lake.  


  • Pickerel Lake:  Another option from the North Kawishiwi River is a portage into Pickerel Lake.  A fun lake to try your Northern Pike fishing techniques.  A small campsite on the lake offers a good lunch spot.


  • Lake One to Moose Track Adventures:  This trip is for the adventurous. A full day trip from Lake One to the North Kawishiwi River and back to Moose Track Adventures. This is a challenging trip which covers approximately 13 miles including 5 portages. Excellent fishing and scenery are found all along this route.


  • Hegman Lake Pictographs:  Just a short drive from the resort will take you to South Hegman Lake where you will portage and paddle to some of the best pictographs in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Estimated to be 500 to 1000 years old, the paintings show a clearly drawn moose flanked by a dog or wolf, a maymayguayshi (man-like) figure and several canoes. This is a great day trip and your chance to see some of the history of the area. So pack a lunch and get ready for the paddle at this historic site.


  • Guided Fishing & Guided Canoe Day Trips:  We offer both guided canoe day Fishing Trips and Naturalist Trips into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. If you are interested in a guided trip be sure to "book the guide" when you make your reservation.


  • Other Paddles:  These are just a few of the paddling options available to you during your stay at Moose Track Adventures. We have endless paddling ideas, so if you have any questions just ask - we're here to help.
