Easy day trip to Iron and/or the Dahlgren River. We did a quick trip up here last fall in some beautiful weather, was great. Plus, very safe regardless of weather" Agree! Did Stuart Lake EP late fall a couple years ago and had some great day trips and fishing on nearby lakes (not so much on Stuart itself).
billconner	04/04/2018 02:16PM The Kawishiwi triangle area, with the Gabbros, were very pleasant in October - 2 or 3 trips. Easy to get to - Farm, Lake One, or Little Gabbro among more - and easy to go further or stay put. We got snowed in for a day up the Isabella river near Quadaga but it was all good.

That time of year combined with the Sawbill area would give you a very good chance at seeing some moose." +1 Did this area in October and enjoyed hearing the sounds of bull moose in the rut.
SevenofNine	04/04/2018 08:43AM If you don't want to travel far then I would use entry point 50 or 51 and head to Snipe for at least two nights. Then head over towards or on to Long Island lake. If it's late Fall I would think you should find an open campsite along the way. If not Long Island has lots of sights.

AmarilloJim	04/03/2018 01:28PM At that time you could go anywhere you want and not worry about camp sites. That being said I would prefer a river EP or something with small lakes.
MN_Lindsey	04/03/2018 01:04PM Hoping to head up to the BWCAW in the late fall this year. We don't want to trip too far in - in case the weather turns on us. We're thinking of heading into Mudro, or Sawbill area. Any other thoughts?
