Spent 5 nights in the BWCA this past September with my brother. We put in at the entry point on Moose Lake just outside of Ely, MN and made our way to Knife Lake that sits right on the border. Our plan was to take it easy and spend a couple of days getting there but the weather was cool, misty and windy the first day and was only suppose to get worse so we pushed on and made it to Knife the first day. We spent 4 nights on Knife Lake fishing and exploring and relaxing although the weather was cold and wet the first 3 days and then dried out and was pretty nice the rest of the time. Paddled most of the way out and spent our last night on a great campsite on Newfound lake. Slept in a hammock the first 4 nights and then just out on the ground the last night. Sat and watched the full moon rise the last night and then got up early to watch a beautiful sunrise the last morning.
It was one of those trips where the first half had us questioning why do we still do this? Wet, cold and windy. The last 3 days were glorious and made us forget all about the bad weather so we are planning our trip for next spring already! Took my new pup on her 2nd BWCA adventure and she just loved it, figured I should train her in young.
I created a link to a google photo album so I hope it works.
