I’m planning a trip to the boundary waters, and would like to rent a touring kayak. Is there anywhere to rent one between the boundary waters and Minneapolis?
Check out Piragis Outfitters in Ely, Minnesota
Most of the outfitters in Grand Marais and up the Gunfint Trail have kayak rentals.
Piragis sells kayaks but does not rent them as they are ill suited for BWCA
Ill suited if there’s a lot of portaging, but they would work well on many of the larger lakes, Lac La Croix, Saganaga, Basswood, Sea Gull etc… If the the portaging is kept to a minimum a kayak would work well.
