entry point

We put in our canoes on Lake One (not very creatively named, but when you claim 10,000 lakes I suppose you run out of options) and almost immediately passed through this river-like channel. We went on to paddle many more miles until we reached our campsite. The Boundary Waters is a protected designated wilderness, and there is no motor traffic allowed (i.e. no motorboats....canoes only). Not even airplanes are permitted to fly overhead. This means that the Boundary Waters experience is similar to what the 18th and 19th century trappers would have experienced. Only with Gore-tex and backpacking stoves.
