Enjoy viewing the real live wolves that make the center their home. They are all delightful to watch as they all mingle together at the center in surroundings that duplicate their natural environment.
The wolves show their youthful nature—playing with each other, stalking ravens, wrestling trees, and always, always learning. Depending upon the level of interest of the group, wolf howling is also an option for the evening’s entertainment!

Your guide will navigate the group into parts of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area offering greatest opportunity to hear wolves. It is an awesome experience! Time will also be available for swimming, hiking, fishing, sightseeing, photography, and just plain enjoying the relaxing and beautiful world around you.
Know that while wolves in the wild are abundant, there is never a guarantee that they will “perform” their vocal melodies for your group.

There will be many opportunities to enjoy some quiet fishing, view deer, loons, beaver, otter, bald eagles, and a multitude of other birds – so bring your camera!
