Stayed at the nice mid-lake site and we were going to layover for a day but during breakfast we listened to forecast of a big storm blowing in so we packed up and headed north to Long Island. That portage is a challenge...made worse by a cold, windy drizzle. Missed our chance to fish Davis but thought it was a very scenic lake.

But I really enjoyed camping on Davis. After leaving Brule, I didn't see any people and had Davis to myself. The link has a description of my experience on Day 3. You can also read about Day 4.

What specifically are you wanting to know? " Curious about how scenic the lake was, lots of good options around Brule with Winchell and Cherokee being pretty enjoyable to look around and paddle about. Also curious if anyone's caught lake trout there?

Here are a few pics. 2nd photo is of the sweet campsite with plenty of tent pads and huge sloping bedrock into the lake. My partner and I also brushed the portage from North Cone into Davis L last summer 2023.

LindenTree	12/30/2023 08:44PM   SH Curley, there was moose sign all over at the campsites on Davis when I was there last summer as well. We also were the only humans on the lake.
