In the BW looking Southwest from camp, I think it's Southwest possible Northwest, I'll dig further. Pretty certian it is looking Southwest.

Sorry,
No new picures of this lake, I'm off the grid, and I can't find them in the cloud.
Another hint.
This Lake has one river flowing into it, by one name.
The exit river, out of this lake has another name.

You got it wrestlencanoe.

Campsite is right where the Parent River comes in on the East side, it is a nice spot.
Does anyone know if it survived the Pagami Fire. I havn't been back there since.

October 2012. Site survived.

Thanks for the tip Nicek, I may have to go back there. I figured it probabally survived the fire, lots of Cedars there and the river raises the humidity, making those sites more fire resistant.
The walkin/hiking trail campsite site across the lake by the portage and bridge also survived.
I spent two weeks fighting the Pagami Fire around Isabella Lake between Bog and Section 29 Lakes.

LindenTree3, thank you for your tremendous work fighting the wildfires. Those that get "out of hand' can change the environment and many lives for ever.
Paddling post Pagami fire through Pietro and Clearwater with my son , we noticed campsites remained "green" as an oasis in the middle of the scorched forest. Question: do you (the fire fighters and the forest service) make any extra efforts to save the campsites. It looked to me almost as if the water was dropped from the air to protect the sites. Thank you.

I am not aware of the Fire Service making water drops to save campsites, I never saw it in my career, but not saying it never happened. (I didn't fight that many fires in the BWCA)
IMO, what saves many campsites from being burned is their proximity to water raising the humidity (especially if the fire enters those campsites at night).

Most likely, what really saves many campsites from the fire making them look like an Oasis, are because of previous human activity, especially with the heavily used sites,
Campers beat down the vegetation and compact the soils around campsites and remove much of the dead and downed wood to use for their campfires, while removing alot of the branches of nearby trees.

If I remember correctly the Clearwater and Peitro Lakes fire area was from a burn previous to the Pagami Fire. (The Pagami FIre burned into that area making it look almost the same).
I believe those lakes (Clearwater and Pietro area) were used as a burn out/backfire, and in that case fire crews would have most likely had hose lays and pumps to secure the fireline. In that case water drops may have been used, but most likely to secure the fireline, not to specifcally save campsites.

Thank you. Always learning from this site. First hand reports are invaluable.
