Superior National Forest

Tucked into the northeastern corner of Minnesota, the Superior National Forest spans over 3 million acres of pristine wilderness, offering one of the most spectacular natural experiences in the United States. Home to the famed Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, this national forest features over 1,000 glacial lakes, extensive pine and hardwood forests, and rugged ridgelines that provide sanctuary for moose, wolves, black bears, and countless bird species.

Superior National Forest is a National Treasure with immense ecological, cultural, and recreational value. It preserves vast tracts of boreal forest and clean freshwater systems, playing a critical role in biodiversity conservation and watershed health. For visitors, it’s a haven for canoeing, hiking, fishing, and backcountry camping, offering deep solitude and a rare opportunity to connect with the rhythms of the natural world.

Steeped in Indigenous history and traditional use, the forest also serves as a living landscape where nature and culture intertwine. Its protected status ensures future generations can continue to experience the awe, peace, and wonder that only true wilderness can provide.
