BOUNDARY WATERS AND QUETICO CANOE TRIP MENU: FOOD OUTFITTING

A great trip deserves great food!

Packing the food for a canoe trip can be challenging and time-consuming. Let us do the leg work for you. All you need to do is get to Ely. We will have a great menu all laid out for you based on your selections, ready for you when you arrive. Each outfit is custom packed to make sure you get just what you like. We have many fresh food options that can be supplemented with freeze-dried items from Cache Lake and Backpacker's Pantry to reduce weight (the freeze-dried options are better than ever!).

Food included with Full Outfitting or $55/person/day

What's included with our Food Outfitting:

  • Customizable menu with many meal options to choose from
  • A wide selection of fresh food options
  • Carefully selected freeze-dried and dehydrated options to reduce weight 
  • Food pack and zip sacks for organization
  • Food consultation when you arrive in Ely so you know exactly what is in your pack
  • Adjustable portions to fit your group's appetite

Fill out the menu (see menu box above). Look through all the food options and build a custom menu for you and your crew. We are very flexible, so be sure to write in lots of notes if you have restrictions or special requests. Otherwise, if you would like, we can build the menu for you. When you arrive in Ely, we will go over the food to make sure you are comfortable with the portions and know how to prepare everything. At that time, we can add or remove any items to ensure that you have enough food, without carrying too much.

About Our Outfitting

The Boundary Waters Canoe Trip

The canoe trip as a vacation was born here.  They come each summer from every state and many countries.  Each paddler seeks something different.  They are the fishers, the birders, the seekers of solitude, dedicated paddlers, or just wilderness freaks.  It's truly been discovered, and for good reason, but it's never overrun.  If you come here, the lasting memories are of owning your own lake for a night, with a family of loons for neighbors, and working together to get your canoe and your gear to the next lake or to the next country.  You cherish the moments you spend here as a family, as a group of friends, or by yourself.  It'll be the sunsets, the pan-fried walleye, and the sand beach where you skinny-dipped, even the rainy day you paddled back home, that you'll remember forever.  Make memories this summer by planning your next Boundary Waters canoe trip.

Piragis Northwoods Company is a Cooperator with the USDA Forest Service under the Superior National Forest.  We issue permits into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW), part of the National Wilderness Preservation System.  This business operates within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in the Superior National Forest.  As a Cooperator with the Forest Service, we are an equal opportunity service-provider.
