Canoe Trip Routes in the BWCA and Quetico Park Canoe
Trip Route A A great "loop." About 35-40 miles total - super 5-7 day fishing trip. You 'll experience the beautiful Curtain Falls, and super
small mouth bass fishing! Bottle
Portage, Iron, Crooked, Roland, Argo and Darky Lakes to Minn Lake
and on to Lac La Croix and we'll pick you up at the Ranger
Station. Go
to map and details.
Canoe

Falls, Tanner Lake, Maligne River and east to Poo Bah Lake, or
try it north up the Maligne River to Sturgeon Lake, ideal for basecamp exploring, return to Twin Falls for pick-up. We urge
barbless hooks for superb smallmouth bass and walleye fishing on
this canoe route. Go

Canoe
Trip Route D Indian
Village, Snake Falls (whitewater,) Three Mile Lake to Wolseley
Lake, onto Wisa-Vie Lake, Thompson Lake to Lac La Croix and paddle back to lodge. For another variation of trip D try our van shuttle service to Wisa Lake landing then onto Woolsey, Bear Pelt
Creek, Bear Pelt, Sturgeon, then down the Maligne River and be picked up at beautiful Twin Falls. This is a very quiet and untraveled route. For a longer version of this route we recommend heading north from
Three Mile to the Quetico River, Beaverhouse, Quetico, Conk, Jean, Budside Lakes to Jean Creek, Rouge to Sturgeon Lake, then down the Maligne River for pick-up at Twin Falls. This longer route is a fabulous 10-12 day
