QuietSolo	07/16/2023 11:38PM Here it is for anyone researching the route! You can paddle this narrow, rocky, channel between Lynx and Little Shell instead of portaging 8 rods. I loved it almost as much as Snipe narrows.

Little Shell to Lynx we were able to paddle through but there wasn't a lot of water clearance there. Depending on water levels that's a maybe. But even if, it would be a super easy walkaround. Lynx is worth it , beautiful lake. " Looking forward to exploring that area for first time! Campsite stress already set in after reading trip reports etc.
egknuti	07/03/2023 10:16PM QuietSolo: "Is it possible to safely paddle between Shell and Little Shell and/or Little Shell and Lynx? " You cannot paddle from Shell to Little Shell. You can however, paddle from Little Shell to Lynx.

Loony_canoe	07/03/2023 08:00PM Shell to Little Shell, nope Lynx, most of the time But both are super short.
QuietSolo	07/03/2023 07:35PM Good to know! Thanks to you both.

However with a light canoe and decent water levels Little Shell into Lynx looks quite doable." Little Shell to Lynx is open most years. Shell to Little I cant imagine doing so.
