Cliff Wold’s provides the complete package when it comes to outfitting in the Boundary Waters. If it is your first time, or your 20th year Cliff Wold’s staff will make sure you are prepared for the adventure ahead. The Boundary Waters are a majestic place best seen from the bow of a canoe. I have…

For over 20 years my brother-in-law and I have been using Cliff Wold’s to outfit our wilderness trips. That alone should say a lot about what I think of Cliff’s, but it doesn’t tell half the story. Since Ryan has taken over the business, he has improved our experience by upgrading equipment while keeping the…

We went out in the BWCA in August 2015. Cliff Wold’s was great. The outfitting was amazing and we had great meals and equipment for a reasonable price. We basically could have had a “feast” every night. Two suggestions I would have are: make sure that you take a pulley or have them give you…

I can’t think of a better outfitter for a group on the Boundary Water Canoe Area. Ryan and his staff run a tight ship, provide great food and equipment, and are reliable and trustworthy. I’ve brought many groups up to Ely over the years, as early as the early 70’s and as recent as the summer…

Had a great time and your service is wonderful. It’s nice that you outfit us with all we pretty much need for an adventure in God’s creation. I’m not a camper or canoe owner so having Cliff Wold’s outfit the trip is a great service. Recommend you guys highly. Thank you.

My friends and I been using Cliff Wold’s as our outfitter in the Boundary Waters since 94′. I can’t say enough about Ryan and his staff; knowledgeable, dependable, and friendly.

The Boundary Waters is a beautiful destination for fun and relaxation in the beautiful outdoors. Cliff Wold’s, under the leadership of Ryan, continues to provide outstanding service! We utilized his services this past fall. It was an excellent experience. We did a complete outfitting so all we brought was our clothing and fishing gear, Ryan…

We went this past summer and as a first-timer, Cliff Wold’s was perfect! They got us everything we needed to make our trip safe and most importantly, fun. The Boundary Waters are beautiful. It’s a perfect place for a family trip. None of us were ready to leave! We’re all excited to be back this…

Though 19 years apart, my second BCWA trip through Cliff Wold Outfitters (August 2015) was as well managed as the first (1996). This was a surprise 70th birthday trip for the guys in the family, and took a couple of years planning to organize it all. My wife appreciated how helpful Ryan was throughout the…
