Your Guide to Ely, Canoe Country & the BWCAW - Boundary Waters Canoe Area
Ely Resorts and Ely Outfitters for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness welcome you to Ely and to ElyMinnesota.com, your virtual gateway to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, the BWCAW.
Ely, after a warmer than usual September, and a relatively wet early October, is settling into more normal cool weather as we await the Deer Hunting Opener in a couple of weeks. This week’s photo shows a tranquil woods scene common to many deer hunters in this region.

Ely Resorts and Ely Outfitters wish you a successful and safe hunt this year.
