I have been there about 15 times. Every experience is different and very beautiful. I reccomend if you want to get away from the american lifestyle, or just take a break from everything to visit the BWCA. I have not been there for a few years, and want to go back soon. Great atmosphere, but be prepared to live a different lifestyle while you are there. It may be a lot of hard work depending on your itinerary, but it is well worth the relaxation and peacefulness of these surroundings.
