Sand Lake Rec

Boundary Waters Four-Day Expedition

Four days beyond the roads, with the route, food, permits, and portages handled.

This is enough time to cross the first portage and keep going. We travel a compact loop of quiet lakes, camp on granite points, cook well, and build each day around the weather rather than a mileage contest. Expect three to five hours of paddling, one or two portages most days, and long evenings with nowhere else to be.

No wilderness experience is required, but you should be comfortable sleeping outside and carrying part of a canoe or pack over uneven ground. A deposit holds your place; the remaining balance is due thirty days before departure. If conditions force us to cancel, you may move the full amount to another departure or receive a refund.
