Canoe Route #6: Trout, Bluffs, and Solitude

Days Needed: 5+Number of Possible Entry Points: 2
Shortest Trip Difficulty: ChallengingLongest Trip Difficulty: Challenging

By the end of your second day you should be leaving most parties behind enroute to your third day when your trip becomes remote and the scenery comes alive. This route takes you to beautiful lakes with bluffs rising up to 400 feet from the water’s edge that tower above your canoe. Another lake offers a quarter mile hike up to a panoramic view of the wilderness from over 150 feet above the lake. This is an excellent route for those wishing to get lost within the beauty and awe struck power of the Northwoods. This route also offers some fine fishing – especially for trout. There is one lake with stream trout and four with lake trout. Other lakes offer the usual populations of smallmouth bass, walleye and northern pike.

Recommended Packages

If you are going to take the shortest route our Ultra-Light Package will be more than enough. If you intend to take the longest route and get back into the wilderness you will want the lighter Kevlar Explorer Package.
