Wisconsin Woman Paddles 200 Miles Solo at Age 65 Across the BWCA

Mona Gauthier led her first trip to the BWCA in August 1983. At that time, she was a recent college graduate with limited resources and made do with gear and equipment that was available. Inspired by the peace, beauty, adventure and challenge of the BWCA, she vowed to return. And return she did. In 2025, Mona completed a 200-mile solo trip across the border lakes of the Boundary Waters. It was her first solo adventure after completing nearly 70 trips to the BWCA. In a recent episode of the Paddle and Portage Podcast, we share Mona's story of her first solo trip, and how it intersects with decades of introducing others to wilderness paddling.
