"With the detailed maps we provide, you should be able to get from point A to point B with very little difficulty," Forsberg says. "Just show up with your clothes and toothbrush, and everything else is covered. We go over the entire route, all the gear, how to set up the tents. And help you brush up on your J-stroke."
With the Kevlar Explorer Package you’ll get the best and lightest of gear, from a We-no-nah Kevlar Canoe to a Crazy Creek camping chair. Guided options offer an extra layer of comfort and another pair of hands for portaging that loaded, 42-pound (19-kilogram) canoe.
Where to Play
The entry point at
Isabella River might offer
the best chance of seeing a
moose, but when picking from
more than 20 different entry
points, over 1,500 miles
(2,410 kilometers) of canoe
routes, and some 2,000
solitary campsites, you
can’t go wrong. “It’s
overwhelming—I could list
names of great lakes for
hours,” says Forsberg. “In a
million acres, we can make
the most out of any spot.”
Each trip is completely
customized to your skill
level and what you’re
looking for, and the earlier
you plan, the more permit
options you’ll have.
At Day's End
Dinner is honey-lime chicken
with asparagus and
long-grain rice—surprisingly
tasty freeze-dried fare,
provided by Forsberg. And if
your kids haven't crashed,
toast marshmallows together
under the stars.
