2025 Boundary Waters Highlights
Our 2025 Boundary Waters Adventure began with a prayer for safe travels before we loaded up and started the eight-hour drive to Clearwater Outfitters. After spending the night in a bunkhouse and enjoying a hearty breakfast, we secured our permits and were on our way. It was a two-hour canoe trip and a short portage before we arrived at our campsite. Our spot was one of the best on the lake, with a spectacular view and a sandy beach that made it easy to launch our canoes. The weather was perfect the entire week.
We started each day with a devotion, staying true to our mission. The fishing was a bit inconsistent, but we caught plenty of smallmouth bass. Walleye fishing was slow, but we were still able to enjoy fresh walleye several nights. We also targeted lake trout and had some great success, reeling in several large fish ranging from 24 to 29 inches. By the end of our trip, we had fished three different lakes.
As the week came to an end, it was time to pack up and head home. The paddle back to our entry point was an incredible experience. With calm waters and beautiful scenery, it was impossible not to appreciate the majesty of God's creation.
