In addition to the excellent service, there's a certain northern MN charm to this place. They've always got the time for all my questions, and they're stocked with gear I need (flat straps to tie down the canoe) and stuff I didn't even know I need (fishing poles for kids). They also have every map of the BWCA, and a solid knowledge of the best routes around. This is a great last stop on your way out of town where you can make sure you've got everything you need for the wilderness.
