butthead	02/07/2016 10:27AM Look at the rapids flowing north to Gull, shows how much water is flowing into the EP bay! Kind of deceptive. butthead

I agree that paddling the north side of seagull is far more scenic than the south side." that chute in early may, it can be more difficult than what it looks(to paddle). the 1st time i paddled through there i was like this will be simple, we had to dig abit more than i expected.
bwcasolo	02/06/2016 05:34PM u got it!
butthead	02/06/2016 04:54PM Let me know when. butthead
bwcasolo	02/06/2016 04:02PM quote butthead: "Almost a yearly regular at Trails End campground. A few minutes walk between EP54 and the large parking lot by the outfitter. Sandy launch area. Several camps with direct access. Last June spent some time watching canoes and kayaks pass out into the main lake, more than a few dumped! I did also, first time going thru. Entering the bay is fun! butthead" let's meet somtime. i will be there mid may 2016.

Grandma L	02/06/2016 12:13PM If you are heading north - is it better to take the Sag #55 entry?

Just stay behind that big rock on the east side as long as possible and then take advantage of the eddy.
bwcasolo	02/06/2016 09:31AM thanks all, possible spring, trout solo trip.

walleye_hunter	02/06/2016 06:44AM Yep, it's the same entry point (54). It's a much more scenic paddle than the south side of 3 mile island. There is a little chute to paddle up but that is no big deal.
bwcasolo	02/06/2016 05:31AM is there a legal seagull entry on the north end of the lake. i have started a trip at seagull outfitters before, but wanted a new entry area. i know there is an entry, south of seagull outfitters.
