Overview

Superior-North is a full-service outfitter, supplying all of your needs from one location. Kevlar Plus Deluxe Package, Fly-In Canoe Trips, and Boat & Motor Base Camping Packages all feature the ultimate in quality equipment and food, as well as ultra-light canoes including Wenonah, Old Town, and Grumman & Alumacraft. Complete or partial outfitting is available. “Headstart” Launch Service to transport you, your equipment and canoes to any location possible on Saganaga Lake, saving up to a day’s paddle. Private overnight accommodations, hot shower facilities, special rates for groups, personalized trip planning and routing, just to name a few. The Saganaga Lake Store offers a variety of convenience store items, including a large selection of gifts and souvenirs.

Upon arrival, Superior-North will discuss various areas and canoe routes to help you choose a route best suited to the time you have available, your experience, and what you want out of your trip. Once you decide which area you favor, Superior-North will detail your route on waterproof canoe maps indicating the best campsites, fishing spots, and points of interest along the way. Superior-North will take the time to answer your every need in planning an enjoyable canoe trip. Beginners will get that little extra help that Superior-North welcomes the opportunity to give. They then demonstrate the pitching of tents, and take a look at the equipment and food supply. They can also demonstrate how to paddle a canoe and the proper way to pick it up for going over the portages. The routing encompasses everything necessary to have a successful canoe adventure. After a good night’s sleep in your own private “bunkhouse” style cabin, you will be served a hot breakfast of pancakes, sausage, and juice before you begin your canoe adventure into the wilderness leaving right from the dock. All you need to bring is your own personal items, fishing gear, and camera … and leave the rest to Superior-North.

If fishing is what you are after, Saganaga Lake holds the state’s record for the largest Walleye at 17-1/2lbs. The area also has Small mouth Bass, Lake Trout, and Northern Pike.

Superior-North offers great packages for groups of ten or more. The Boundary Waters is a great place to learn about the wild for Scout Troops, Youths, Church Groups, Business Professional, and many more. Groups are just as special to Superior-North as any other party. This is why they receive ultra-lightweight equipment that is included in the Deluxe Outfitting Package. Contact Superior-North for the special rate and extras it includes.

Over one million acres in size, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) contains hundreds of lakes and rivers, has 1200 miles of canoe routes, and is home to many threatened and endangered species. The canoe country offers primitive forest dominated by lakes and streams full of pure drinking 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 a “getting away from it all”, a sudden absence of pressure, a melding with nature, solitude, the cry of the loon, a refreshing swim, and the welcome smell of a campfire. Canoe the same routes traveled by the famous voyageurs of centuries past, over the interlacing lakes 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. Freshly caught fish are delicious on the trail. Sleep will comes easy, snug in your sleeping bag inside a waterproof tent with the lapping of waves on shore and the whisper of the wind rustling tall pines. If you’re a beginner or an experience canoeist, if you are with family, friends, couples, business associates, or youth groups, everyone may enjoy the canoe country. Let Superior-North help you plan a unique adventure vacation of a lifetime.
