Thanks for the Tips guys. I'll definitely look for that rock in Frost Lake. We're not sure on our route out yet. Probably go from Mora to lil Sag, and then out heading east, really not sure what lakes going that way, lots of options. Since we're doing 8 days we'll have time to figure it out I...

Hey guys. I'm used to fishing for Walleyes, but I'm not used to fishing for Lake Trout. I'm doing the Frost River Loop and looking at most of the lakes it seems most of them have Lake Trout in them... Any tips? It would be mostly Little Saganaga and the lake around it. I'm doing Cross Lake to...

Very nice video!

Sounds like an awesome trip. I just put in for my passport so I can start heading over the border.

Bob, Good looking canoe, and nice trip report. Are all the lakes open now your way? I just went for a drive and most if not all are still frozen over here. Looks like I'm still a week or two out before I can paddle anywhere.

Grandpa Paddler, That sounds very tempting, unfortunately I'm doing 8 Days up in the BWCA in May myself so I won't be able to do another 8 day anywhere else that month. Rocky Headlands, Do you have a place there? Or do you work for the park service? I was actually looking at a short Isle...

I just posted about this in the Discussion Forum. Wish I would have seen this post first. Seems like a cool idea. I hope it doesn't put too many people out there, especially when I finally make it to Woodland Caribou.

Have any of you heard about this? Thoughts? It doesn't end till October, 2019. That's plenty of time and gives me a chance to go to Woodland Caribou P.P. I might have to give it a go... http://ontarioparks.com/nwquest

Lucky! Here in the UP the lakes are mainly still frozen. Hoping in a week or two i'll be able to get out, but with the upcoming temps and weather that looks to be iffy. Either way, glad to see someone getting out!

Going to BWCA for 7 days in May, Only 7 to 8 hours away depending where you launch from. Other other go to Options with drive time are... Big Island Lake Wilderness(1 hr). Sylvania Wilderness (2 hr). Two Hearted(2 hrs), Fox(1.5hrs), Indian(1 hr), and Manistique(1.5) Rivers are all under 2 hours...

Would anyone be interested in doing a meet up in the UP of Michigan this summer?

How do you size dry compression bags? Most are sized in liters and I'm not sure how that would compare to my sleeping bag not compressed.. anyone have any pointer on that? It's a 20 degree synthetic bag with 36oz fill. probably 8inches by 16 inches in it's non compressed stuff sack?

Roadends, The way the snow is melting I'm hoping to do an overnight hike in by the end of the month to scout out possible routes, hopefully I find something, but I feel you're probably right. Cabin fever may have me delusional. UPpaddler, I have a friend that got his 80lb canoe into White...

I'm planning on doing a couple recon overnight hikes with this early spring. Would like to figure out how do-able it would be to portage into Lower Baraga Lake, then portage into Upper Baraga Lake, and continue up to Island Lake.... The part I want to take a closer look at is the river/creek...

Welcome from the UP

September 4th-6th, 2015. Type of Trip: Solo Weather: 80s the first day, comfortable mid 70s with strong winds for the rest. I opted for doing the main section of the Manistique River, from Germfask, to Manistique. Driving this is about 35 miles, by river it's about 65 miles and according to the...

Bob/Hogan, Thank you for the input. Looks like I have a new place to check out this fall!

LIke I said permits in the BWCA were all taken, which was unfortunate. Sylvania Wilderness seems like it would be crowded on a holiday weekend with weather like this. I was looking at an updated map a couple days ago too, and it looks like they've doubled up a lot of the campsites? making 1...

I pulled the trigger and got a campsite Thursday Night at Northland Outfitters on the Manistique. Going to do a 4 Night, 4 Day Trip Solo (Unless I find someone to go with) from Germfask to Manistique MI, about 65 miles of river and estimated 22 hours of paddling. But if anyone has anything that...

Hey Bob, How busy do you think the Turtle Flambeau Flowage would be on Labor day Weekend? I'm looking for 4 day- 3 night trip ideas this coming weekend in the Northern Midwest.
