Wabikimi Provincial Park ~ Trip of a lifetime - August 2008!

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.





If you are interested in creating a 'Trip of a Lifetime' please call or email us with your interests/abilities and we can plan something for the 2009 season - the possibilities are endless!

All-Inclusive Outfitted & Guided Canoe Trip in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area

A Moose Track Adventures All-Inclusive Outfitted and Guided Trip brought this family from Wisconsin to experience the Boundary Waters. During the 6 day/5 night trip, they had fun soaking in the sun, cooling off in the water, exploring for blueberries and bones and learning about the history of the area. The combination of perfect weather and awesome fishing made for fun times and great memories.

Taking in the scenery & sun.








'Treasures' found during exploration.








Jim Blauch - a professional guide with years of experience guiding in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, also had a chance to pull in this nice size lake trout that fed everyone for dinner one evening.












Fresh lake trout over a fire.









Wild blueberries were still found in the woods and were a great addition to morning pancakes.

Last Day - on the way back to 'civilization'!

17" Smallmouth on White Iron Chain of Lakes

A guided day trip for Chris, brother Matt and Dad landed them this 17" smallmouth on Sunday, along with a stringer of walleyes and a few other smallmouths. Fishing in the mornings/evenings, playing golf in the afternoon, an hour float plane ride tonight is how their week is working out.
