Click on Photo		CANOE TRIPS...A Unique Adventure! The canoe country offers some 15,000 square miles of verdant, primitive forest dominated by lakes and streams full of drinking pure water -- all interconnected -- inviting you to come within -- to explore and enjoy. Paddle these endless lakes by canoe under your own power. Enjoy the challenge and break of pace offered by overland portages that take you to the wonder of yet another unfamiliar lake. A canoe trip is "getting away from it all", a sudden absence of pressure, a melding with nature, solitude, the cry of the Loon, a warm mid-day sun and cooling breezes across the lake, a refreshing swim, and the welcome smell of the campfire. It is all these things... and more. To enjoy all this, you need only come to Saganaga -- you need not be experienced at canoeing. Superior-North Canoe Outfitters will supply you with the equipment and assist you in planning and preparation. We try to provide you with the type of trip you wish that is suited to your needs.

Camp each evening on the lake of your choice and cook over an open fire. Fresh caught fish are delicious on the trail. Sleep will come easy snug in your sleeping bag inside a waterproof tent with the lapping of waves and whisper of the wind rustling tall pines. Young and old may enjoy the canoe country.

Personalized Trip Planning As the party leader, you will determine the tone and nature of the trip. Prior to looking over the maps, we will talk about the general focus (fishing, scenery, photography, etc.), the number of experienced canoeists in your group and the amount of traveling you have in mind. The importance of this service cannot be overemphasized. We will listen closely to what you tell us, because, among the many to choose from, there is likely one route best suited for your party. Once your route is established, we mark it on waterproof maps with special attention given to campsites, waterfalls and fishing holes along the way. We then demonstrate the pitching of our tents and take a look at your other equipment and food supply. Our routing encompasses everything necessary in the way of advice and instruction...your party is special to us at SUPERIOR-NORTH.

Fishing the Superior-Quetico Travel by canoe enables you to reach some of the best fishing to be found anywhere. Smallmouth bass action on the border waters cannot be topped. Walleyes are found in nearly all the lakes in good sizes and quantities. Saganaga Lake yielded the state record 17 1/2 lb. walleye in 1979. Lake trout are native in many of the lakes averaging 2 to 5 lbs. Northern pike are found in all the lakes. You never know when a 20 pounder will devour your lure. Base Camp This type of trip is ideal for families with small children and parties who do not wish to make more than one or two portages. We will help you select a base camp location where you can set up camp for an extended stay, exploring and fishing the waters of your choice by day, and returning to camp each evening. A boat and motor may be rented for base camping if you prefer. Lashing two canoes together like a catamaran while traveling the lakes provides an alternative for extra stability. Overnight Accommodations and Meals We have private rooms in our 'bunkhouse' style base quarters with comfortable beds and sleeping bags. Modern toilet and shower facilities. Your car is safe in our lighted parking area -- no extra charge. Free use of canoes the night before your trip. Meals are available at reasonable rates nearby.

Trading Post Sag Lake Store is operated in conjunction with Superior-North Canoe Outfitters. We have a complete line of fishing tackle and lures used in this area. Live bait is on hand. We are happy to help you select the best baits for the route of your choice. Browse the selection of gifts and souvenirs in our shop.
