Our trip concluded on Friday morning. We packed up ate a quick breakfast and headed out. We trolled some cranks along the route back to hog creek and picked up another pike and walleye.

The trip back up Hog Creek was not as entirely enjoyable as it was on the way in. The current wasn't that strong but it definitely would slow you down making the sharp turns around the twisty creek and the beaver dams provided enough friction against the canoe to make you mutter under your breath.

After a couple hours we made it back to the EP. We packed up and headed out grabbing some lunch at Two Harbors and eating at Gichie Gumee.

What a great trip. It was short overall but I think the goal of giving Mackenzie her first trip to the BWCA and have fun was achieved! She wants to bring her mom back next time and wants to swim ALOT MORE she said!

I would highly recommend EP36 for anyone who wants to introduce small children to the BWCA and thanks to anyone that provided me feedback in helping me to decide this was the right EP to take my kid!
