2025 Trip Planning and
Winter Update
February 14th, 2025
Welcome to our website here at La Tourell's Resort and Outfitters. We hope you find the information on our site helpful. We'll be regularly updating this newsletter with fishing reports, forest conditions, and other helpful information. If you are a regular visitor here or someone that is looking at visiting us for the first time, please feel free to contact us with any other questions you may have. Please also check out our Facebook and "X" pages.
It has been great talking to so many of you about your 2025 trips with us. We're looking forward to seeing all of you that are regular visitors as well as meeting those of you visiting us for the first time. For those of you that have not yet finalized any plans with us, please contact us at your earliest convenience if you are thinking of making a visit with us. Several weeks are full at this point for cabin accommodations, but many dates still have availability. Boundary Waters canoe camping trip permits are beginning to fill up, but many dates are also still available. Quetico trip permit reservations can be made 5 months to the date before the trip or later. Most every date is still available for these Canadian canoe trip permits. Again, we are available to help all of our customers navigate these systems. With either wilderness area, to have the best chance at securing your preferred trip dates its best to contact us at your earliest convenience.
For those of you looking at travelling into Quetico Park on the Ontario side of our wilderness area, be aware that there is a Canadian Customs clearance procedure required to enter Quetico. This system, which has been known as the Remote Area Border Crossing permit or RABC, is currently formulating the process that will apply to 2025 trips. It has not yet been released and there has been no date announced as to when it will be. We will provide more information about this procedure as we learn more in the coming weeks.
This winter has so far been a much more typical winter with more snow and cold weather than we saw last year. Even though we are still a bit below our normal snow levels, we have had an adequate amount as well as some very cold temperatures as of late. This past week we've had temperatures as low as -38 degrees (real temperature not windchill) with some more cold temperatures on the way. We'll keep you updated with current conditions as the spring begins with ice out predictions, water levels, and forest moisture levels.
We are again selling several of our kevlar canoe fleet this spring. Please let us know if you have any questions on what canoes we have available and we'll be glad to get you specific canoe photos, prices, and information.
Our spring will see us busy completing some improvements and projects to our facilities that we can't wait to show off when the season starts. We look forward to talking to everyone more about your trips in 2025 and to seeing all of you again when we see ice-out.
Thank you again for visiting our site! We enjoy sharing your experiences to these Northwoods our family calls home. We truly appreciate each of your visits with us and look forward to helping you with your vacation plans.
