The Boundary Waters are made up of striking landscapes featuring endless forests with countless waterways forming a natural border between the U.S. and Canada, flowing eastward towards Lake Superior. These waterways were often used by early explorers and fur traders during the 17th and 18th century. Autumn arrives early in northern Minnesota and is especially spectacular in the Boundary Waters. Trees burst into a flame of colors and their leaves change to an array of brilliant colors, making it a great time to be in the wilderness.
