The canoe country offers some 15,000 square miles of verdant, primitive forest dominated by lakes and streams full of drinking pure water -- all interconnected -- inviting you to come within -- to explore and enjoy. Paddle these endless lakes by canoe under your own power. Enjoy the challenge and break of pace offered by overland portages that take you to the wonder of yet another unfamiliar lake. A canoe trip is "getting away from it all", a sudden absence of pressure, a melding with nature, solitude, the cry of the Loon, a warm mid-day sun and cooling breezes across the lake, a refreshing swim, and the welcome smell of the campfire. It is all these things and more. To enjoy all this, you need only come to Saganaga -- you need not be experienced at canoeing. Superior-North Canoe Outfitters will supply you with the equipment and assist you in planning and preparation. We try to provide you with the type of trip you wish that is suited to your needs.
Canoe the same routes traveled by the famous Voyageurs of centuries past -- over the interlacing lakes, rivers and rapids where, even today there are no roads, aircraft, private or commercial development. Camp each evening on the lake of your choice and cook over an open fire. Fresh caught fish are delicious on the trail. Sleep will come easy snug in your sleeping bag inside a waterproof tent with the lapping of waves and whisper of the wind rustling tall pines. Young and old may enjoy the canoe country.
