Your Guide to Ely, Canoe Country & the BWCAW - Boundary Waters Canoe Area

Downtown Ely, Fall '08

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.

So, if you’ve forgotten anything, don’t worry, you can always find it in Ely. If you want to plan ahead go to the business directory where you will find a complete listing of Ely Area Businesses. Search by keyword, name or business category.
