We had a wonderful time on our canoe trip. Our guide was informative and knowledgable about the area and it's natural history. We are planning a trip back in a few years and hope to use Ely Outfitting Company again for a longer trip. Thank you so much!

We rented a canoe from Ely Outfitting Company for a week long trip in the BWCAW in July 2025. They made it so easy with lots of training on how to transport and portage the canoe. We had no problems what-so-ever which made our week enjoyable.
