About Voyageur North Outfitters
Voyageur North Outfitters is a full-service Boundary Waters outfitter on East Sheridan Street, serving canoe trippers heading into the BWCAW and Quetico Provincial Park for more than 40 years. The family-run operation pairs a well-stocked outfitting base with personalised trip planning, helping paddlers assemble the right gear and route for their experience level.
The company offers both fully outfitted expeditions and partial rental packages, with an extensive selection of lightweight canoes plus camping and fishing gear available in-store and online. Staff plan expeditions around each guest's preferences and abilities, drawing on decades of familiarity with the thousands of lakes in the region. In 2025 the business expanded its accommodations with brand-new cabins and full-hookup RV sites on the edge of Ely, giving guests a comfortable base before and after their trips.
Voyageur North is known for its long tenure and its personal approach to outfitting. Rather than a one-size-fits-all package, the team tailors food, equipment, and routing to the group in front of them, whether that is a first family trip or a seasoned wilderness expedition. The combination of experienced outfitting and on-site lodging makes it a convenient, all-in-one launch point for the Boundary Waters.
