About
Join us at the edge on the Boundary Waters for a celebration of canoeing, camping and wilderness travel, June 10 & 11, 2023.
The Boundary Waters Expo is a family friendly two-day event featuring speakers, vendors, and activities. Located at Bearskin Lodge & Wilderness Outfitters on East Bearskin Lake, 26 miles from Grand Marais on the scenic Gunflint Trail.
Equipment Demos
Our location on the edge of a beautiful BWCA lake provides a perfect opportunity to test canoes, paddles and other gear. Wet your paddle, string up a tarp, and crawl into a tent, and if you like it take it home!
Expert Instruction
Take in presentations from experts who have been there and done that. Whether you're a seasoned tripper or don't know one end of a paddle from the other, you'll learn something new at the BWCA expo.
Boundary Waters Scenery
East Bearskin lake is a gateway to the Boundary Waters Wilderness, with three portages and two entry points to choose from. Start or end your BWCA adventure at the expo.
