August 19 - 23, 2021
Join this canoe trip in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. We have permits for two groups, with one group entering at the Duncan Lake entry and another group entering at the East Bearskin Lake entry. Each group will stay at their campsite for all 3 nights, and enjoy pack-free day trips on Saturday & Sunday.
We will leave on Thursday from Immanuel and drive by carpool to Rockwood Lodge. We’ll receive our instructions and stay in the bunkhouse that night. On Friday morning we’ll start our canoe trip, returning to the lodge on Monday and to Eden Prairie by that evening.

Clothing recommendation: NO COTTON. It is extremely heavy when wet and takes a long time to dry out. Bring synthetic clothing as much as possible, as it wicks moisture away from your body and dries much quicker.
***Remember, pack SMART! Everything we pack will be carried in your canoe or on your back -- every pound counts!
