Cummings Lake was nice. You do have to account for wind. Campsites are close enough that you can hear and see other people. We enjoyed being able to walk from our site to Coxey Pond and Silica Lake. Trail is a great walk. We also did a day paddle circling Korb River, Korb Lake, and back to Cummings. We opted for a ride across Burntside from an outfitter. Another group leaving right behind opted to paddle. On a windy day the ride will be nice. |

We went into Crab Lake in late August of 2019. After a tow across Burntside, the portage was long but not too difficult. When you reach the open marsh grasses, you are about halfway. Nice sandy landing on Crab Lake. All of the campsites were nice with several really good ones - TuscaroraBorealis is right, check the maps site for campsite photos and reviews. The fishing is good, by my standards, on Crab Lake - mostly smallies and northerns. Good numbers of fish with decent size. We caught a few rock bass on accident. We did well trolling and on topwaters in the evening. I enjoy fishing but it isn't the main purpose of my trips so others will probably provide better insights. It will help to know more about your group size, if you plan to base camp, or if you are interested in day trips to other nearby lakes. Enjoy the planning process! |
