A 100-mile wilderness paddling corridor on the edge of the Boundary Waters — the Cloquet River flows through the boreal forests of northern Minnesota from its headwaters near the BWCAW to the St. Louis River at Cloquet. Remote Class I–II paddling through dense spruce-fir forest with moose, wolves, and loons. One of Minnesota's finest multi-day canoe trips outside the Boundary Waters proper.
