Most people know that you can canoe in the BWCAW. But, the best kept secret is that there are "Hidden Gems" beyond the canoe that can only be found on foot!

Join us for a presentation on how these "Hidden Gems" are preserved by volunteers. Martin Kubik will share photos, maps, stories and more about the Kekekabic, Powwow, Sioux Hustler and Eagle Mountain/Brule Lake trails.

Hiking Mini Workshop: Tiffanie Ellis will show "What's in My Pack", gear and clothing items for a safe day trip in the Boundary Waters wilderness.

Discover the "Hidden Gems" and learn how you can help preserve these trails in the BWCA working with other volunteers like you and the BWA Committee. There will also be information about the upcoming Powwow trail clearing trip on Saturday, September 30th including free transportation in the Frost River van.
