Boundary Waters Canoe Area: Eastern Region
by Robert Beymer
This classic guide, along with its companion volume, Boundary Waters Canoe Area: Western Region has been the trusted source for 30+ years on where to go in the BWCAW. Now fully updated, it is the go-to guide to the 1200 miles of canoe routes and 154 miles of portage trails in the BWCAW.
This guide describes 28 entry points in the eastern part of the BWCAW -- those accessible near Grand Marais from the Sawbill Trail and the Gunflint Trail. For each entry point, both a short and a long route are described with all the information you'll need, including:
- Complete trip data
- Total distance, time
- Difficulty
- Permit and quota requirements
- Required Fisher maps
- Difficulty of portages and recommended campsites
- Fishing recommendations for surrounding lakes and rivers
