BWCAW Entry Point #12, Little Vermilion, Andersons Canoe Outfitting, Canoe TripEntry Point #12 Little Vermilion Lake

Entering the BWCAW through the Little Vermilion Lake #12 entry point is unlike most others.

Your journey begins at Anderson’s Canoe Outfitters in the welcoming community of Crane Lake, MN – located at the westernmost end of the Boundary Waters. Crane Lake, a motorized lake with large houseboats and fast fishing boats, can make for a busy commute. Our shuttle service loads you, your gear and canoes and safely zips you across the water allowing you to relax and enjoy the stellar views on the way to your chosen destination.

Exiting Crane Lake, our shuttle enters the BWCAW at Little Vermilion Lake #12 entry point. Drop-off sites begin at Loon Falls and continue across Lac La Croix to the end of the water route at Bottle Portage. A one-way trip of 55 water miles traveled within 2.5 hours, we can suggest drop-off sites along the route tailored directly to your camping interests. This part of the boundary waters offers secluded canoe-in camp sites and remarkable fishing for an unforgettable trip!
