Do you want a loop where you enter and exit at the same place, or can you exit at a different EP??

A couple of other questions:

Do you mean 4 days, three nights??

Do you want to travel each day and how far a day???

Fishing, solitude, waterfalls, moose sightings what are the trip goals?

I assume you all have some experience in the BW and paddling??

Ideally it would be a loop. Solitude and fishing are the two main factors. We have all been up a few times. The entries points I can remember of the top of my head are Moose River, Little Indian Sioux, Mudro, Fall Lake. We are looking for something a little different.

Here's a nice loop for some solitude and fishing in 4 days three nights.

Moose River EP 16

Day 1 Moose River to Lac La Croix Boulder Bay or Tiger Bay

Day 2 LLC to Gebeonequet through Pocket Lake.

Day 3 Gebeonequet to Oyster, Agnes or Nina Moose

Day 4 exit at Moose River.

It is very possible to take a layover day on Day 2 on LLC or anywhere along this route. It is fairly easy to make it out in a day from Oyster or even Rocky. Gebe is a long day out but if you get an early start and are just leaving not looking for campsites it can be done.

Things to see:

LLC picto graphs and Warrior Hill. If you layover a day on LLC head through Iron to see Curtain Falls and Rebecca Falls

Pictos on Rocky Lake

Good SMB and Walleye fishing on LLC, Pocket, Agnes Moose river

Solitude-you should have fewer people north of Oyster and south of Pocket.

Good area to see Moose along the river.

Enjoy!!! This is one of my favorite areas
