I just heard that there's still 14 inches of ice on the lakes in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. It looks like another week or so before they open up.

It will be ruined.
I’ve been to the Boundary Waters many, many times. It’s a Wilderness where you mostly paddle to your destination.
You can *see* the Milky Way.
The water is some of the cleanest you’ll find in the US.
Solitude is possible.
The camping and fishing is amazing.
Available for everyone to visit!
Get your permits. If you can’t get a permit from the FS, find an outfitter in the area who can secure them.
