TallMatt	06/03/2013 07:34AM Here is a pic taken from Thunder Point during the fall, not sure if it does it justice, but it's a great spot to stop for lunch
Canoodler	06/03/2013 01:28AM Thanks, Tuscarora and Kevlar. I am interested in the flint rocks that are unique to this area, so the climb to the top of Thunder Point will satisfy both desires. I enjoyed your trip report, Tuscarora. We will be going in a couple of months and hope to find much drier conditions! I notice at Big Knife Portage on the Canadian side, there is a shorter portage on the American side. Is this option only used in lower water times?
Kevlar	06/02/2013 09:52PM As you paddle NE at Thunder Point, aim right at the middle of the point. You'll find a gravel beach and the trail starts there. The Indians used to quarry rock from T.Point to make arrowheads, knives, etc and it was a trade item.

Canoodler	06/02/2013 02:25PM Thunder Point looks like a good bet, about 160 feet above the surface of the lake. Impressive. I might guess that a trail from the campsite on the NW corner of the Island exists.

Canoodler	06/02/2013 12:32PM I was told that there was a neat hill to climb on Knife Lake that gave a great view. True? If so, where is this hill and is there a somewhat definable trail to follow? Could you use a McKenzie map to pinpoint it? Thanks folks!
