    Help, I need to expand my horizons.

    We did Lake Lila once. Pretty nice. Went through that region many years ago on our way to Baxter. We weren't canoeing though.

    Hey from Western PA!

    Thanks! I just started a new thread on the destinations page. I gave some details about us in order to help people if they decide to give input. We have that lifetime senior pass. UP routes would be fantastic. We drive through there to/from BWCA mostly to avoid driving thru Chicago, but we now...

    Help, I need to expand my horizons.

    Sorry for the long post, but I figure the more info I give, the better info I'll get. I'm fairly new to the site but not new to canoes, or camping. We have been on some great trips but for the most part, we do a lot of day trips or our canoe camping has been repeats to the same places. I'd say...

    Hey from Western PA!

    Thanks and thanks! So, should I start a new discussion over on the "destinations" page? I have lots of questions and also some input on what type of trip we are looking for. I guess I don't need to clutter up this thread with trip discussions.

    How I came to buy my canoe

    You folks are probably the only ones who have not been forced to be bored by the story of how and where I bought my Wenonah Rogue back in the 90s.

    Hey from Western PA!

    We did a short paddle trip in the Adirondacks a few years ago. It was nice and my wife wants to go back. It is on our list but I'm just not sure of my way around up there...which lakes, routes, camping regs, etc. We are not "anti-motor" but we would rather be in paddle-only lakes or rivers. I've...

    Hey from Western PA!

    I'm starting to consider Canada. I know we can't talk politics here but I will say this. Canada didn't give me the warm and fuzzies during covid. Do you have to show proof of vax to cross the border?

    Hey from Western PA!

    Thanks Jim. We pretty much decided that this will be our last trip to B.W. We have a launch permit for next month. N Fowl lake was our "plan D". We were logged in at the very moment they opened for permits and our plans A, B, and C were instantly sold out! Then, we go on to learn just last month...

    Hey from Western PA!

    Hello! I'm been lurking for a few weeks now so I thought I'd join the group. My wife and I have been paddling for 50+ years but we didn't really have boat control skills until about 20 years ago when we joined 3 Rivers Paddling club and learned just how little we knew for those 1st 30 years. We...
