Moose Track Adventures Resort

Our group of six from Texas just got back from a 5-night, 6-day canoe adventure in the Boundary Waters, and Moose Track Adventures made the whole experience absolutely incredible! From the start, they helped us plan the perfect route, provided top-notch Kevlar canoes, Duluth packs, paddles, and PFDs, and handled all the transportation in and out of the BWCA. Everything was super organized and easy — we could just focus on enjoying the adventure. Jim and Joan were friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to answer questions. They really know the area and gave great advice that helped make our trip smooth and memorable. And when we came off the water at the end of the week, they even had a hot shower before heading home — such a nice touch after six days in the wilderness! The route, the

We spent a week in a cabin at the resort and loved our stay! We were on the lake shore and just outside of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. The cabin was nicely furnished and decorated with a full kitchen. The owners were very pleasant and helpful with lots of area information and answered all of our questions. It is located just a few miles from Ely so it was convenient to restaurants, quaint stores, a grocery store and area attractions. We are looking forward to staying at Moose Tracks Adventures again.

Gear and Equipment: We contracted for all our equipment (and food) to be supplied by Moose Tracks. Equipment can make or break an outdoor experience. On a scale of 1-10, the equipment was an 11. Joan and Jim supplied us with two top-end tents – (no holes for misquotes to get in). It rained pretty hard one night and there were not leaks – we were dry! The 3-person Kevlar canoe was in excellent condition. The remainder of the equipment was well thought out, worked well, and was utilized including the bear-hanging mechanism. The fire-starter was excellent. Support/Communication/Trip Planning: We consider ourselves fairly experienced and capable outdoor campers but, we had never been to the Boundary Waters and were not expert canoe handlers. From our first introductory call all the way throug

This was our 3rd stay in 15 years in a cabin at Moose Track Adventures resort. We like a small, quiet resort if we're not going camping, and the lakefront cabins and views are very nice to have. The cabins have always been very clean and well-maintained. Jim and Joan have lots of great information for day outings. Even though there is a road running alongside the resort, it leads to homes, some resorts, and remote areas so doesn't really have much traffic. We weren't as active as on previous trips but really enjoyed the quiet and relaxation. We did paddle on the lake a couple times; swimming was great, especially with the swimming rafts; drove down to Bear Head Lake State Park to bike on the Mesabi Trail, north through the woods. Gorgeous trail.

What a great experience we had with Moose Track Adventures. Jim and Joan were a delight to work with from planning to welcoming us back from the trail. The equipment was top notch, and Jim put us on the best fishing spots. They are a family run business and am thankful we picked them to be our outfitters.
