Tow Service

We can give you a head start if your expedition begins on one of the larger lakes in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. We'll carry you and your gear to a jumping-off point on one of our large tow boats. This can save you a half-day of paddling and get you into the wilderness more quickly.

**Canoe rental is required.**

Tow prices are per person & a minimum # of people (unless grouped with others). Fuel surcharge may be added depending on market price.

*This area has a customs office, no RABC is required. Plus Canadian Tax.
