Enjoy a 7-night stay for 2 people at the Blue Heron Bed & Breakfast in Ely, MN on beautiful Farm Lake.

Just five canoe lengths from our dock, you cross the line to the fabled BWCAW.

Paddle about 100 yards and around the corner into South Farm Lake, and the silence goes from quiet to awesome!

Blue Heron is ideal for easy-to-access experiences of the incredible beauty and silence of the BWCAW. You can paddle 2 hrs around South Farm Lake or head up the Kawishiwi (both in BWCAW) for a day trip and maybe even keep going till you reach the Gunflint Trail! There are several easy portages within a day that take you deep into the canoe wilderness.

Try stopping at a wonderful rocky ledge to view the omnipresent eagles who take their prey to an rocky island just off shore. Spy on the loons who "own " that territory, observe the beavers at their houses, and keep an eye out for the occasional moose noshing along the shore.
