I've been down the Snake before. Also have been through Bald Eagle, Gull, Gabbro South Kawishiwi over the years. Looking for a route either via loop or route we can take. (can leave a vehicle at an exit point). Will want to paddle to a new site each day--and allow afternoons evenings for fishing, relaxing etc. Was checking out a route through Clearwater into Lake 2 and through the northern part of the Kawishiwi and exit either at Gabbro or S. K #32. I have never been on the number lakes simply because of the volume of people that I always here are on it--and travelling as part of a route makes me anxious that we will have difficulties finding sites to stay through the course of the 4 nights. I also understand that the portage throught the PMA between Clearwater, Rock Island lake and Lake 2 may make this a route to avaoid? Question for some of you who have been through that area--how difficult is it to find a place to camp in this area? Would you completely avoid the Clearwater to Lake 2 route because of the PMA portage and traffic? Also, any other thoughts of a different route? We normally paddle deep enough to not worry about these things--but this with the fires we are kind of stuck having to trip through the BWCA freeway--which is just fine because it is still the wilderness. Any .02 cents from all of you would be much appreciated! |
