BOUNDARY WATERS
CANOE AREA WILDERNESS
Wilderness rules in the Boundary Waters in northern
Minnesota. Here, there are no roads, no buildings, no
electricity, and no crowds. The only sounds you might
hear are those of birds, wind, and water. More than one
thousand lakes, rivers, and streams sparkle among the
pines. Youve never smelled air so fresh!
Fishers and canoers love this place. Boundary Waters
trips are hard work, though. You must purify your own
drinking water. Get ready to carry your gear on your back.
There are no cars to take your tent, food, toilet paper,
and garbage to and from your campsite.
But the hard work is worth the adventure. Drop a line in
one of the lakes. Maybe youll catch a walleye! Make a
small raft out of sticks. Then sail it from your canoe. Are
you good at finding your way in new places? You can be
in charge of the compass.
At night, stars fill the sky. Stay up late, and gaze at them
for hours. You will come home tired but wishing for more
time in the wilderness.

biomes, or natural regions.
Forests with leafy trees cover

The Boundary Waters is part of
Minnesotas northern evergreen
forests. The trees keep their
needles all through winter.
Bears, moose, and wolves roam
these sweet- smelling woods.

WORLDS LARGEST TWINE BALL
Do you like weird wonders? Then the town of
Darwin is a must- see stop on your Minnesota
trip! In 1950, Darwins Francis Johnson had
an idea. It started with a piece of twine. He
began rolling up the twine. Johnson wondered
how big his twine ball could grow. For the next
twenty- nine years, he rolled twine for four
hours a day, every day. His creation grew to be
feet (3.7 meters) wide!
Today, visitors flock to the town of Darwin
to stare at the Worlds Largest Twine Ball
(rolled by one man). This amazing ball sits in
