• The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness
  

  
  The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is a 1,090,000-acre (4,400 km2) wilderness area within the Superior National Forest in northeastern Minnesota (USA). It is renowned as a destination for both canoeing and fishing on its many lakes and is the most visited wilderness in the United States.
  
  

• Hiking
  

  
  In addition to shorter trails to Eagle Mountain, Magnetic Rock, and Angleworm Lake, the Boundary Waters has several long-distance trails. The Border Route Trail runs east-west for over 60 miles (97 km), following the ridges between the long border lakes such as Loon, South, and Rose.
  
  

• Canoeing
  

  
  Although there are numerous drive-in campgrounds surrounding the wilderness, most campsites are accessible only by water. About 75% of the water area was reserved for non-motorized boat travel. Most lakes and rivers are interconnected by portage trails, resulting in over 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of canoe routes. Chains of lakes and portages of various lengths and difficulties can be combined to create either linear or circular routes.
  
  

• Wildlife Watching
  

  
  Animals native to the region include moose, beaver, wolves, bears, bobcats, bald eagles, peregrine falcons and loons. The Boundary Waters is within the range of the largest population of wolves in the contiguous United States, as well as an unknown number of Canada lynx.
