Part 3 of 6
Day two we wanted to head to a site that was called the Hilton by out outfitter. It was only about 30 minutes from where we stopped. The thought was we could spend a day here and have time to relax. When we arrived at the site it was taken by a couple with their two small children. I felt odd asking but I stopped at the site and asked the couple if they were planning to spend the day there. They were very nice and informed me that they were going to be heading out but probably not for an hour. We stayed out of their way and they moved on when they were finished. This was the first trip for the little children, but I had the impression that the couple had been to the BWCA multiple times. They also knew this campsite as the Kawishwi Hilton. This was a great site, it had class 1 rapids on one side and a calm area where you enter the campsite. We watched a number of groups trying to go up and down the small rapids. Kawishiwi Hilton location 47.879 -91.618 guaranteed to be full every night
