There is the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and the Quetico Provincial Park and THEN there is the Wabikimi Provincial Park. Two return customers were looking for a new area to explore and the Wabikimi fit the ticket. After flying into the Thunder Bay Airport, they were picked up by 2 guides and then driven 100 miles north, where they came to Armstrong Station. The four then hopped on a float plane and then headed another 100 miles north and were dropped off at a place where the last people to be dropped off there was 2 years ago! As you see, the float planes up north are considerably larger than the float plane you see around Ely.
Just about every meal had fresh fish!
A little break from fishing from a canoe, fly-fishing from shore.
Pancakes with fresh blueberries and blueberry syrup! The going joke ended up being that they would finally move camp when they ate all the fresh blueberries in the vacinity.
Lots of lakeside camp spots for viewing colorful sunrises and sunsets.
Since the Wabikimi doesn't get a lot of 'traffic', finding portages could sometimes be challenging.
We use superior camping gear such as Marmot sleeping bags and tents on our fully outfitted canoe trip packages.
Since the Wabikimi is so much further north, fresh blueberries at the end of August into September were bountiful.
Since the Wabikim has fewer visitors than the Quetico and BWCA, this little critter was probably wondering who was invading his space.
The decision at hand that day was how far to go and who was going to catch dinner.
Colorful sunsets and calm nights - what a great way to end each night.
