This fall I finally got to do a trip I've wanted to do for a very long time.... Roadends attempted getting into this area a while back and posted about it, but didn't have much luck. Information on the Wilderness can be found here: http://www.mccormicktract.com/ and...

Does anyone have thoughts on canoeing the entire Mississippi beginning in Mid-Late October? I'm currently working at a remote fishing lodge in Alaska as a guide, and we get back home in early October. My Buddy and I would like to begin our journey mid to late October? Right now we can't see any...

I don't know how it's looking everywhere else, but here in the UP the temps have mostly been a lot above normal with temps in the 20's and 30's. Ice hasn't been nearly as thick as it normally is this time of year. Since I'm taking a job in Alaska this summer i might get to get more canoeing in...

My Dad recently gave me about 50+ topographic maps, many with canoe routes on them. Right now most are rolled, with some being folded. What way do you store your maps? Do you have anyway you organize your maps? I'm looking for ideas now that it's winter. Also, does anyone have a map coating...

Anybody hear anything about the new Northstar Trillium? Just saw it listed on their website, mistakenly under the tandem canoes. Looks to be a slightly smaller Northwind Solo... thoughts?

Does anyone know anyone that crossed their fingers and took one last trip into the BWCA recently? With 12 inches in some spots they might find themselves being able to pull their canoe behind them on those portages...

I had never been to Sylvania Wilderness before. I decided I'd do a One Night Solo Trip Saturday till Sunday. I've been avoiding Sylvania for so long due to how many people go there, and boy were there a lot of people. I saw 40 boats on Crooked Lake alone before I even got to Mountain Lake where...

The Husquvarna website lists the hatchet as both 15 inches and 13 inches in the details. Talk about confusing... has anyone bought one or know someone that's bought one recently? I heard they changed the style in the last year or two so not sure if that's why there is the confusion on size?

Had a couple days with not much to do. Decided to do a solo over nighter. Craig Lake is only about an hour from where I live so it was simple to do without much planning. I made a small video about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkwqoQlTDjQ and more information on the park can be...

A buddy and I decided to try to take on most (47 miles) of the Indian River Canoe Trail here in the U.P. of Michigan over 4th of July weekend. We made the mistake of underestimating the 2nd half of the River and ended up having to pull out early and hitch hike back to the take out Car due to...

When you search for information on the Frost River you seem to come around a couple things pretty consistently... 1) Frost River Soft Goods named their company after the route due to how remote it is. 2) It's Challenging, and everything from the Outfitter websites to canoe trip reports make note...

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...

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

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

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...

I am planning on doing a 4 day- 3 night trip Sept. 4th thru the 7th. Solo, or with others if I find others that want to go. The only thing is I just can't decide on where to go. Getting a permit now for the BWCA is out of the question, every entry point is filled. I feel like Sylvania...

I'd have to assume water filters are pretty much the way to go, but does anyone boil their water? Any thoughts on this?

Do you guys ever paddle and pedal? When you drop a bike off at your finish point down river so that you can pedal to get your car after you take your canoe down river? Obvoiusly this is more of a day trip idea, but i know a guy out in Maryland that seemed to do it quite a bit. I just did it for...

6-12-15 to 6-13-15 I've been looking at going to the Big Island Lake Wilderness for a while now, and without ever getting anyone interested enough to go I eventually decided it'd be a good place to do my first Solo Canoe Trip. Unfortunately it was cut short due to the Weather. I started on...
