Outfitting Canoe Trip Adventures for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Quetico Provincial Park
Voyageur Canoe Outfitters Fly-In Trips
Voyageur Canoe Outfitters has the perfect location for a fly-in trip into the Quetico Park located in Ontario, Canada. We can provide everything you need for a fly-in fishing or camping adventure of a lifetime.
A fly-in canoe trip is an excellent way for advanced canoe campers to paddle the vast wilderness of the Quetico Park. A float plane will drop you off on the edge of the Quetico and then you will paddle your way back through the Quetico Park and Minnesota's Boundary Waters where you may be picked up by our towboat service and brought back to Voyageur Canoe Outfitters.
Voyageur's Featured Trip
Clay Lake (Mack 23) to Saganaga Lake
This trip starts out with a tow boat ride from Voyageur Canoe Outfitters to the middle of Saganaga Lake to meet the Canadian flight service. There you load and take off for Clay Lake, which is 30 minutes North. After unloading on Clay you paddle west winding yourself through the Greenwood Creek and the Wawiag River. This leads you to the magnificent Kawnipi Lake. After Kawnipi comes a series of waterfalls known as the Falls Chain. Saganagons is next and then Silver Falls one of the largest falls in the Park. Next paddle across Cache Bay but do not forget to see the Indian pictographs. Paddle around Cache Point to Hook Island where we will meet you with a towboat. This trip is a minimum of 24 hours of paddling (three eight-hour days). We recommend at least a 5 day trip or longer to enjoy the scenery and fishing.
