Table Rock for its historic significance. Certainly you must see some pictographs somewhere. I also love the area of Sag around American Point and Loon Island. The entire border route. (We have done all but about two miles of the border route in the BWCA.) The Pine River/Granite River trip is a nice one. And so it goes. . .I look back on 24 or so trips and think "Oh, this is a must, this is a must, this is a must!" There isn't a bit of it I would have wanted to miss. (Well, maybe a bit, but that has more to do with conditions than places.) |

The pics on LLC, Warrior Hill (close by), campsites on Lady Boot Bay of LLC, and my favorite 5 star campsite on Gillis Lake. |

quote kanoes: "a twist to the subject...to me, many of the "must visit" places are right under our noses, in the areas we normally just walk over. looking down now and then is a good thing. there is a beautiful world underfoot that so many overlook." I agree wholeheartedly!!! You really can't go wrong, regardless where you choose to go. BTW great photos. |

quote bwcadan: "I have seen many of the mentioned areas, but older now I prefer secluded base camping. Yes, it can be solitude if you work at finding the right lake and back bay. Day trips from there up to 20 miles one way can be handled with an early start. We carry food and a tent to have if unable to return because of wind or unexpected events." 20 miles one way? really? so a 40 mile daytrip? why basecamp if you can do a 40 mile daytrip carrying food and tent? |

quote bbrown6057: "TB, where are the falls on Winchell?" At about mid lake on the south shore. Almost directly across the lake from campsite #761. You cannot see them from the lake. If you paddle along the south shore in that area you'll hear them as you approach. Initially it's kind of a bushwhack to penetrate the first wave of trees and brush. But once you get past that it's fairly easy to move around. maps section. |

How far do you travel on a regular travel day, given an "early start"? butthead |
