SPRING & SUMMER IN ELY
Ely, Minnesota is on the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW)—the largest federally designated wilderness east of the Rocky Mountains, consisting of more than one million acres of primitive forest and over 1,200 miles of canoe routes.
The BWCAW lies within the vast 3.9 million acre Superior National Forest.
Spring and summer in Ely are full of endless opportunities to truly experience nature. Canoe on a quiet lake during sunrise, hike through a towering pine forest with breathtaking views, enjoy a shore lunch of trout or walleye cooked over a campfire, sleep under a sky filled with billions of stars that feel so close you could touch them.
