BWCAW 2019 - Kids on Kawishiwi
BWCAW 2019 - Kids on Kawishiwi BWCAW EP 32 - South Kawishiwi River The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) is a 1.1 million acre wilderness area with over 1,100 lakes in the NE corner of Minnesota. It contains some of the purest wilderness in the world and the water is so clean many paddlers dip their water bottle in the lake as they paddle across. You won't find roads, buildings, or cell phone towers, but you will find peace in nature as you immerse yourself in a trip to the BWCAW. After a successful trip in 2018 for Anne and I with a Stuart River to Moose River loop across Iron Lake, it was time for the kids to experience their first wilderness trip in 2019. Planning started last Fall with decisions on where to go accounting for the kids not being able to paddle or portage long days. We decided the South Kawishiwi River area outside of Ely, MN. It offered easy access, short portages, fishing opportunities, beautiful campsites, and protection from the winds
