BWCA PMA Wildlife Sightings and Blog
Any particularly interesting photos of wildlife taken while in the BWCA Primitive Management Areas are shown on this page.
PMA Trip Reports
Blogs of daily activities for specific PMA routes taken. If you want a lot of detail about a particular route, this is the place to look.
Beaver Dams of the BWCA
Photos and video of beaver dams, beaver lodges and the beavers themselves. Some of these are quite spectacular. Information on beavers is from all parts of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, not just Primitive Management Areas.
The Longest and Meanest Portages in the BWCA
Videos and photos of the really nasty or really long portages in the Boundary Waters. These are maintained portages, not bushwhacks like you do in PMA's, which are often worse.
Fish of the BWCA's Primitive Management Areas
Fish species present, videos of fish getting reeled in, photos of fish and links to Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Fish Survey's. It's all in this section.

Highest Point in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area
It is Eagle Mountain which is 2,301 feet in elevation. This is also the highest point in Minnesota. Here are photos and images from the summit and along the Eagle Mountain Trail. The lowest point in the BWCA is likely (not positive) the south end of Sand Point Lake where it forms the border of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. The elevation there is 1,119 feet.
