Canoe Outfitters Gunflint Trail

What is a canoe outfitters? Here on the Gunflint Trail we have many entry points into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA or BWCAW). Some people have all the gear they need for a trip into the wilderness, while others rely on a local expert to provide them with not only the best gear but the best advice.

While Rockwood does not have a restaurant, we are able to put together meals for the canoe trips including a quick start breakfast. Our freeze dried camping food is freshly made for us also on Poplar Lake at Trail Center. They have a line of meals called “Camp Chow“. Many options including solo, vegetarian and vegan are available, and the proportions are enough to fill you up. Each comes with detailed instructions on preparation.

Rockwood realizes that each party has different wants and needs on a canoe trip. Whether you’re a beginner or a veteran of many canoe trips, our goal is to make your next trip the best vacation ever.

With our central location, we offer direct access into some of the most remote areas of BWCA, and routes from entry points along mid-Gunflint Trail. We specialize in ultra-lightweight equipment and canoes to save you weight and bulk in portaging. Our Aluminum, Royalex, and Kevlar canoes and the superior quality of our gear provides comfort while meeting the demands of camping and canoeing the wilderness.

The BWCAW is a vast and remote wilderness area, home to stunning lakes, forests, and wildlife. It is a great place to unplug from everyday life and connect with nature. Canoeing in the Boundary Waters can be a challenging experience, but it is also a rewarding one. You will learn how to navigate, how to camp in the wilderness, and how to appreciate the beauty around you. A Boundary Waters canoe trip is an experience that you will never forget. It creates memories that last a lifetime with your friends and family.
