Has anyone been into White Feather Lake (in PMA) off of Stuart River, south of Stuart Lake? I am wondering if there is enough water to get in there in late May?
Also, how will Stuart River be in late May, as far as traveling north? Thanks!

There should be plenty of water in May and not a problem getting into Whitefeather either. You will have to contend with a few beaver damns but that should not be a problem.

I was in Whitefeather this past fall. Plenty of water

My son and I paddled in there pretty easily couple years ago same time of year on our way Sterling. Nice campsite on the lake.

White Feather site in July last year.
No problems getting there. You can count of many "hammer handles" pike. Very nice/special PMA site.

Thanks to all who offered advice ….. we just got back on Wednesday from a great few days in BWCA. White Feather was accessible, and enjoyed watching 5 swans on the lake. Sadly, someone had cut some green trees and a LOT of Balsam boughs (for 'bedding') at the unofficial camp site. None-the-less, a lovely trip on the "5-rivers route." Stuart River-White Feather Lake - Stuart R. - Stuart Lake - Dahlgren R. - Boulder R. - Agnes L. - Nina Moose R. - Nina Moose L. - Moose River. No other traffic on the rivers (until Moose), and great camps along the way. Met 17 boats going north when we left Agnes, but Agnes quiet and we were only people camping on Nina Moose, so I guess it was all fishing types headed for the border lakes. NO mosquitoes, black flies amping up, some ticks. Lots of waterfowl, grouse, beavers, and swans. Many plants in bloom. Some trees just leafing out. We caught a perfect weather window (after the cool rain Saturday) -- calm winds, moderate temps - absolutely beautiful. To quote a kind gentleman I ran into on the last portage out, "I come out [of the BWCA] a better person." I cherish the BWCA, and so grateful we can still 'do this!'
