Entry Point 25 - Moose Lake
Moose Lake entry point allows overnight paddle or motor (25 HP max). This entry point is supported by Kawishiwi Ranger Station near the city of Ely, MN. The distance from ranger station to entry point is 21 miles. Access is an boat landing or canoe launch at Moose Lake. Many trip options for paddlers with additional portages. This area was affected by blowdown in 1999.
Number of Permits per Day: 27
Elevation: 1356 feet
Latitude: 47.9877
Longitude: -91.4997
We just completed our trip and wanted to add a few details. The entry point has 10 beaver dams, and a new one was under construction. Outfitters will not rent Kevlar canoes going through this entry point, only the heavy royalex style canoes. If you plan to go out through Magnetic Lake, there is a 100 rod portage. We had one rented canoe so we opted to go back out through larch creek to avoid the additional portages needed to take the loop route. As you enter Larch lake, stay left for deeper water and a little less weed/lily pad drag on the bottom of your canoe. The island campsite on Larch is roomy. The water is murky, best to have a coffee filter rubber banded to the intake of your water filter yo prevent it from getting clogged. Small northerns and a few walleye around 11 inches caught, nothing worth cleaning and eating.

Trip Introduction:
My trip is with my friend because my brother is fishing up on leech lake so we had to try and beat him in catching more fish.
Report
We just got out and it was really windy. In trout lake we passed about 5 miles in 1 hour because the waves were 2-3 feet high. My brother on leech lake did not catch any walleye and we caught over ten on pine lake. That means we won. My friend's didn’t catch a walleye but he caught a sunfish that was smaller than the lure he was using. My friend’s dad was with us and he broke a pole, but he caught his first walleye. We had a good time and it wasn’t that bad portaging the mile into pine lake.
