By reading old threads on crocodile lake number 66 permit some people say that the entry point is east bearskin lake same as 64. I just called the grand marais office and they told me "they believe it is a separate entry point" but sounded unsure. Is there anyone that knows a link to a answer or a better contact to get in touch with. Thanks

I think the best and most definitive answer was posted by ducks last August when he visited and took a photo of the sign at the entry point:

See this thread link

"Said one of these men, long past seventy years of age: 'I could carry, paddle, walk and sing with any man I ever saw. I have been twenty-four years a canoe man, and forty-one years in service; no portage was ever too long for me. Fifty songs could I sing. I have saved the lives of ten voyageurs. Have had twelve wives and six running dogs. I spent all my money in pleasure. Were I young again, I should spend my life the same way over. There is no life so happy as a voyageur's life!'"

Veggie lakes entry side (66) is a poor place to park anyway.
Call Hungry Jack Outfitters. They serve that area and will have all the answers you need. Outfitters Tab.

Thanks botanyguy. That sums it up for me that's the answer I wanted but did not want to here you could only visit croc. I wanted to plan a day trip to show them Johnson falls. I will have to think about this.
