Tips

What are the best maps for a hiking trip in the BWCA?
The KTC has recommended McKenzie Maps because they tend to show the most accurate trail locations.  Make sure your map is current (check the copyright date.)  You'll see the detailed GPS traces made by the USFS/KTC partnership on the Kek, Pow Wow and Snowbank Lake Trails.
