2025 Boundary Waters Trails Kickoff

##

Boundary Waters Advisory Committee (BWAC) is hosting an expanded 2025 Boundary Waters Trails Kickoff event alongside its trail partners:

• Kekekabic Trail Chapter of the North Country Trail Association
• Border Route Trail Association
• North Country Trail Association

Join us for connection over our shared passions for the outdoors and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Gather with us, hear from each trail partner to learn of trail updates, needs, challenges, and more. Lunch will be served, to be followed by an afternoon of outdoor skills clinics on topics including orienteering, knots and tarps, and backcountry water and food.

Each of these clubs welcomes new members and volunteers as we continue our individual missions in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, seeking to increase accessibility to the outdoors for generations to come.

Door prize drawings will take place throughout the day, so don't miss your chance to win a prize contributed by our beloved sponsors!

Attendance is limited to 75 due to facility constraints.
