Ely and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area

What makes up "the Ely difference"? First, the Ely area offers the ultimate in wilderness experiences.  Second, the Ely area also offers some of the finest dining and shopping opportunities in the north woods, as well as many fine resorts and varied year 'round recreation experiences.  Third, the Ely area offers pure air, crystal clear waters, sights and sounds that are breathtaking, fabulous sunsets... Need I say more?

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness... an incredible expanse of pristine glacial lakes and virgin forest stretching for 150 miles along the northeast border of Minnesota. Part of Superior National Forest, the BWCAW is federally protected as a wilderness preserve, with all but a very few lakes designated as paddle only, no motors allowed. Overland portages link the lakes, and canoes and gear are carried from one lake to another, as the Voyageurs once did. Here are over one million acres of unspoiled wilderness with unparalled sunsets. It is a paradise for anglers and nature enthusiasts alike: 1200 miles of canoe routes in harmony with abundant plants and wildlife - including threatened and endangered wildlife. Come and experience for yourself what beauty is all about; discover just how deafening the silence can be...
