Canoeing.com’s New Recommended Route
5 Sep
We’ve just posted a new “Recommended Route” in the Canoeing.com Destination Guide that we think you might be interested in.
Our own Alissa Johnson, who wrote THIS feature on the recent forest fires in Minensota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, traces a route through the BWCAW that will help paddlers better understand a landscape shaped by fire.
The 18-mile route, described HERE, features paddling, portaging, and a deeper understanding of how the local ecosystem works. The route passes through areas burned in 2007, those in various stages of regeneration, as well as forests undisturbed for more than 300 years.
Our route desciption includes handy logistical information for the trip, interpretive information for the spots along the route that demonstrate the various stages of forest regeneration, and a swell little map of the route to tie everything together.
