Miles of canoe rivers, including the St. Croix and Mississippi, take paddlers through scenic valleys and woods. Take a day Minnesota canoe trip or camp in a designated site on shore. Whether its canoeing or river kayaking, there are great canoe lakes and routes, and canoe and kayak rentals can be found in near most places. In the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW), Minnesota canoeing takes on added luster far from the sights and sounds of civilization. From solitary campsites, see falling stars and hear loons, the Minnesota State Bird. Full service outfitters provide rental equipment and routes and advice for BWCAW wilderness canoe trips. A &quot;kayak trail&quot; has been designated along the north shore of Lake Superior, and Voyageurs National Park is also popular for canoeing and kayaking. http://www.exploreminnesota.com/canoeing-and-kayaking/rss-articles 2010-03-09T09:30:16.0000000-06:00 http://www.exploreminnesota.com/exploring-the-boundary-waters-canoe-area-wilderness 2009-11-19T15:57:08.0000000-06:00 <img align="left" valign"top" src="http://www.exploreminnesota.com/assets/images/image/Image/Articles/s01bwca-thumb.jpg" border="0" />Situated within Superior National Forest in northeastern Minnesota, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) is a vast preserve of lakes and woods that stretches for about 100 miles along the U.S. border with Canada.<br style="clear:both;" /> http://www.exploreminnesota.com/paddling-the-boundary-waters 2010-01-11T13:13:17.0000000-06:00 <img align="left" valign"top" src="http://www.exploreminnesota.com/assets/images/image/Image/Articles/article_bwca_sml.jpg" border="0" />There's nowhere else on earth like it.<br style="clear:both;" />
