The Boundary Waters is a region of wilderness and semi-wilderness lakes, rivers, and forests straddling the border between Minnesota (USA) and Ontario (Canada), west of Lake Superior. The Boundary Waters is often used within the U.S. to refer to the wilderness area protecting its southern extent, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. This region is part of the Superior National Forest in northeastern Minnesota, and in Canada it includes La Verendrye and Quetico Provincial Parks in Ontario. Voyageurs National Park (USA) may also be considered part of the Boundary Waters.

The Boundary Waters region is characterized by a vast network of waterways and bogs within a glacially-carved landscape of Precambrian bedrock covered in thin soils and boreal forests. The Boundary Waters is a popular tourism destination for camping, canoeing, fishing, as well as for those simply looking for natural scenery and relaxation. The area is one of several distinct regions of Minnesota. (Source: Wikipedia
