Three Ways To Read Past Issues

BWJ has published over 130 quarterly issues since 1987- an absolute treasure trove of canoe trip planning information. You can access this huge, one of a kind database of canoe country material in three different ways:

Available Back Issues

Go to the BWJ article index and browse through the descriptions of more than 1200 BWJ articles. Most back issues from 1994 to the present are available for purchase in original like-new paper format at the regular cover price of $6.95 each, plus shipping. (back issues from 1987-1993 are sold out).

"Best Ever" Article Packages

If interested in a specific subject category of previous BWJ articles, go to our “BWJ Best Ever” select article packages. This is the fastest, easiest, lowest cost way to purchase “BWJ’s Greatest Hits” for the topic of your choice: canoe route journals, fishing by species, wilderness skills, wilderness gear, canoe country personalities, adventure stories, winter trips and more. Packages are available for immediate digital downloading at 4 articles for just $12.

Individual Articles

If you would like to purchase individual articles (not an entire back issue or article package), you have two options. Articles from 1987 to present are available as photocopies for $5/article, includes shipping.

If you need help in purchasing any individual article, you can talk to our staff in Ely by calling:  1-800-548-7319. We would be happy to help you.
