We're John and Lynn O'Kane, your hosts at Voyageur North Outfitters. Twenty years ago we founded Voyageur North on a very simple principle: when you serve people well and give them good value, they come back. Outfitting is our only business. It's not a hobby or a sideline. It's what we do for a living. We're proud to be members of the Professional Paddlesport Association.
At Voyageur North Outfitters, we serve you in two important ways:
  • We outfit you with the right equipment and supplies and
  • We plan a customized expedition just for you, even if you've never been in the boundary waters before.

We've planned countless expeditions based on the experience level and desires of our customers. With thousands of lakes and an almost unlimited number of possible routes, our expertise can make a huge difference in your expedition.
We like being in Ely and we think you will too. The Boundary Waters virtually surrounds us. We have to know about all the routes and lakes. Our location gives us unlimited flexibility to plan the right expedition for you. We can start your expedition from any of the dozens of BWCAW and Quetico entry points. If your expedition begins and ends at different points, we will drop you off and pick you up.

Ely has a variety of stores, restaurants and resorts for you to enjoy before and after your expedition. Overnight lodging is also available locally. The International Wolf Center is nearby. The Dorothy Molter Museum, just down the road from us, tells the story of the famous Root Beer Lady of Isle of Pines. You can get thousands of feet under the earth at the Tower-Soudan Iron Mine State Park just 20 miles away. Ely is home to churches of many denominations.
