Start Planning Your Trip:

At Jordan’s Canoe Outfitters, we understand that every group is unique. We’ve created a range of outfitting packages and recommended routes so you can choose from Complete Outfitting for canoe trips, Base Camp Fishing Trips and Fly-in/Paddle Out trips. We’ll work personally with your group to find the best match for your goals.

Complete Outfitting

For the full experience of wilderness canoeing and fishing without worrying about the details, consider Complete Outfitting. We’ll help you plan a route, provide all the quality, lightweight gear you need – from canoes to tents to spoons – and pack your food. We even take care of transportation and can provide a shuttle service to most routes at no extra charge. All you need to bring is your fishing pole and a sense of adventure.

Choose from two complete outfitting packages:

Lightweight – includes Alumacraft 17’ aluminum canoes (approx 70lbs)

Ultralight – includes ultralight Kevlar® canoe (approx 42 lbs)

Partial Outfitting

We’re happy to work with experienced canoeists who just need some help getting the right gear together. Lightweight and partial outfitting lets you tailor your package to your needs. The options are practically unlimited; rent a canoe and food only, use our gear and bring your own food, or just rent the select items you need. Transportation service is also available. The list below is only a sample of items for rent, call us for more info>

Base Camp Fishing Trips

For fishermen and women looking for a relaxing week of Boundary Waters fishing without all the work, this option lets campers set up a base camp in some of the best fishing spots around. We outfit campers with all the gear and food they need, including lightweight Alumicraft 17 ft canoes and Carlisle paddles. Paddlers can opt to paddle and portage in, or for an additional fee, choose Fast Launch Service to avoid portaging.

Fly In / Paddle Out Trips

Flying in from Crane Lake to Lac La Croix lets groups get deeper into the heart of the wilderness and enjoy a unique view of this amazing canoe country from the air! Perfect for groups with a healthy sense of adventure and the desire to see as much of canoe country as possible.

Fast Launch Service

Our Tow Boat carries your party and all your gear to any of these destinations, getting you to where you want to go faster and easier. All prices are per person, one way.

Fly In/or Fly Out Trips

Flying in from Crane Lake to Lac La Croix lets groups get deeper into the heart of the wilderness and enjoy a unique view of this amazing canoe country from the air! There are many route options, but our favorite route starts at the old ranger station on Lac La Croix and travels down the Darky River into Darky Lake, where you’ll find great scenery, fishing and pictographs (Native American rock paintings).
