Dear John, 

The lakes in the Boundary Waters offer a captivating experience for nature enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers. Their crystal-clear waters shimmer under the sunlight, reflecting the lush greenery of the surrounding forests. Paddling along their tranquil surfaces provides a sense of serenity and a chance to disconnect from the fast-paced world.

Each lake has its own unique character, with some sprawling expansively and others nestled quietly amidst the rolling hills. Many of these lakes are interconnected by rivers and streams, creating an intricate waterway system that beckons exploration, but do you know how many lakes make up the 1.1 million acre Wilderness?

Test yourself: Approximately how many lakes are in the Boundary Waters? 

The lakes of the Boundary Waters also support a diverse ecosystem. They provide habitat for a variety of fish species, including walleye, lake trout, and smallmouth bass, attracting anglers from far and wide. Loons, eagles, and other birds grace the skies above, while beavers and otters gracefully navigate the water's surface.

The Boundary Waters' lakes are not just bodies of water; they are an integral part of a larger ecosystem that is threatened by America's most toxic industry: proposed sulfide-ore copper mining. With your support, Save the Boundary Waters will continue to advocate to protect and preserve this one-of-a-kind canoe country from sulfide-ore copper mining.

Thank you for helping us protect this Wilderness.
