Boundary Waters Canoe Area, Volume 1, Western Region By Robert Beymer. The Boundary Waters Canoe Area, over a million pristine acres of lakes, rivers, and forests in northeastern Minnesota, is no less than paradise for the wilderness canoeist. Stretching nearly 200 miles along the Canadian border, this magnificent wilderness offers over 1,200 miles of canoe routes through some of the most beautiful country in the world. This guide describes 27 entry points in the western part of the BWCA Wilderness-those accessible from the Echo Trail, from the Fernberg Road, and from State Highway 1. It then suggests two routes from each entry point (a shorter route and a longer one). The reader is then entire trip, day by day, with attention to points of interest along the way. Includes map of the area and lake index for fishing that supplies useful information for anglers, featuring size and depth of lakes and fish species. pb 264 pages. C3310 d2602 E2009 G2904
