Canoe Route #3: Popular but Remote

Days Needed: 5+Number of Possible Entry Points: 3
Shortest Trip Difficulty: ModerateLongest Trip Difficulty: Challenging

This is a popular route for canoe campers, mostly due to its ease of access, but for those willing to put in the effort you can penetrate some of the most remote areas of the wilderness. Moose are common here and the fishing enthusiast will find smallmouth bass, walleye, northern pike, lake trout and stream trout along the way. This trip is best if you have at least five days to complete the entire loop. The route contains several lakes and rivers all varying in size, shape and wildlife diversity. This is a great trip for both the beginner and the seasoned paddler.

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.
