01/29/2013 02:45PM Well, as stated in my poem... "a ranger once flew by her and then he told to me she could be deep with 4 foot pike her waters look like tea" Bud Dickson (former Quetico ranger) flew over it and told me, it had dark tea colored water, and might be deep. He added..."I'll bet it's got 4 foot pike in it". |

01/29/2013 01:48PM I am gathering that no one has ever been there. How about anyone know if there are fish in the lake or how deep it is or any other reason why there is no portage to it? It seems like a fairly large lake to go without any use. Primitiveman |

01/23/2013 03:08PM Not at all Stumpy. I had no intention of upstaging you. Rather, you inspired me beyond my ability to remain silent. If you ever decide to put legs to your poem and want company I would love to be considered. |

01/23/2013 11:57AM I do believe I've been thwarted! Well done. |

01/23/2013 10:12AM I have to say she looks good, and I wonder what it'd take, to organize a bushwhack, to yon Zehpira lake. I do believe I love her and I think I saw her smile. While I was glancing o're her way, by the corner of my eye. Her beauty is beholden, by many a voyager. Yet few will care to make a pass, and try enter her. Yet, would I want to share my love with other eager men. Or keep her to myself alone and distant thereby win. |

01/23/2013 08:33AM Well I have to say, I was not expecting a poem in response! But well done! I did a search on the site for Zephira, nothing came up. Weird. |

01/22/2013 11:09PM I dreamed about going to Zephira lake many times. In fact, many years ago I wrote this poem about it... There Sits Zephira.....A poem by Stumpy....... There sits Zephira what mysteries she must hold she moves a bit, but doesn't leave just sits there, growing old She's sat there for millenia and will for many more with visitors so scarce to call that few have seen her shore. There sits Zephira guarded by trees growing tall she sits beyond our comfort zone a mystery to us all we glance upon her picture and quickly look away then dream about another route a simpler, easy way. There sits Zephira shes perfect in my dreams with everything a man desires "come fish me", she just screams a ranger once flew by her and then he told to me she could be deep with 4 foot pike her waters look like tea There sits Zephira I dream of fish like hogs with jumping bass, a walleye cache and pike as big as logs but why no trail to her? a portage she wont lend is she, not worth visiting or just a route dead-end There sits Zephira are her shorelines grand? are they smooth or boldered or maybe they are sand are they thick with Jackpine? or swamps to thick to tramp or do they hide some secrets a long-gone trappers camp? There sits Zephira and decades just might pass till fire sweeps around her and turns her wood to grass and we may never see her a hard bushwack she'd make but until then, to me always she'll be the perfect lake. |

01/22/2013 10:27PM Anyone else ever look at a Q map, find some remote, totally off-route lake, and it just started calling you? Some place you know that virtually no one goes? Zephira has been that lake for me. Always wanted to try to get in there. Seems the only ways to do it is either a fairly long bushwhack from Cache lake, or to try to do a trip involving Tilly Creek (just outside the park) and Zephira creek, during high water. But I thought I'd ask... anyone every been? |
