Good to Know...
It is important to note that BWCA entry permits are reserved on a first come, first serve basis so the earlier you reserve your trip the better chance you have of securing the best entry point.
By the end of your second day you should be leaving most parties behind enroute to 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.

When planning a route into the wilderness you must first know how many days you want to travel versus layover. An example would be a 7-day trip with 5 travel days and 2 layover days. You will also need to decide what you want to do...this can be fishing, site-seeing, swimming, photography, adventure travel (lots of miles), or just RELAXATION.
