The Border Trail: Paddling from Rainy Lake to Lake Superior

Beginning on the west side of Rainy Lake, a group of young canoe guides would paddle 255 miles in 10 days down the Minnesota/Ontario border to Lake Superior. Throughout history, these border lakes served as a highway for people travelling by canoe. A love of the wilderness of this area and the desire to follow along the historic route of the French Canadian fur trading voyageurs inspired the group to embark on this memorable expedition. The route took the paddlers through sections of Voyageurs National Park, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, The Superior National Forest, the Grand Portage State Forest, the Grand Portage Indian Reservation, and the Grand Portage National Monument on Lake Superior.
