Couple times in at LIS.....but never directly to Lynx. Twice, we ate lunch at Devils Cascade on our way to Loon....so Im guessing 4-5 hours to there. Also came out from Hustler through Lynx to LIS ep and we were back in town for a late lunch. I can check my journals for times but I'm gonna so 5 hours for you....6 to be safe?

3 hrs and 40 for us to Shell's western shore in 2013, including loading and unloading at the major-sized beaver pond along the Pauness-Shell portage. Is that still a thing?

rechecked my journals. My times were slightly inflated. Little less than 3 to Devils Cascade and looks like we came out from Hustler in 5 hours. Lynx should be about 4.5 I would say and looks to be for others.

The beaver dam blew out a few years ago and I was able to walk the entire portage, but last year it was back!

That's amazing. When we went through there in 2018, it was at least shoulder deep before I turned around and decided we better load up the canoe, and paddle across.

2 of us in our mid 60's exited from Lynx to LIS north last year. Took about 5.5 hours with a stop for lunch. And if you are going to Lynx you I recommend going to Heritage as well.

Last year coming out I planned to stay on Upper Pauness. I was able to get one of the last sites. A not very good one. No trees for shade or to hang a tarp.
There was a resident grouse who hung around. I forgot to zip up my tent when I went out for a paddle and the grouse was in my tent!
A pair of snapping turtles were also getting busy in the shallows.
FYI - A fair number of people use upper and lower Pauness as their destination lake.
