Leave your canoe at the entrance on Duncan and walk the portage, keep an eye on the right side of the path and you will come across the “Stairway Portage” a rare Boundary Waters portage with wooden stairs. The end of the portage offers paddlers the stunning view of Rose Falls. Along the portage are multiple hiking trails where visitors can hike up the glacial ridges south of Rose and look out across the lake into Canada. A short hike up those ridges offers some of the most expansive views of the Boundary Waters along the Gunflint Trail. Rose Lake is a classic stop for newcomers and seasoned BWCA travelers alike and is definitely worth the trip. A light snack is provided.
