I was told that there was a neat hill to climb on Knife Lake that gave a great view. True? If so, where is this hill and is there a somewhat definable trail to follow? Could you use a McKenzie map to pinpoint it? Thanks folks!
I trip to swing in a hammock, drag a line, smell the sweet air and view the beauty that surrounds me.

Thunder Point looks like a good bet, about 160 feet above the surface of the lake. Impressive. I might guess that a trail from the campsite on the NW corner of the Island exists.

As you paddle NE at Thunder Point, aim right at the middle of the point. You'll find a gravel beach and the trail starts there. The Indians used to quarry rock from T.Point to make arrowheads, knives, etc and it was a trade item.

Thanks, Tuscarora and Kevlar. I am interested in the flint rocks that are unique to this area, so the climb to the top of Thunder Point will satisfy both desires. I enjoyed your trip report, Tuscarora. We will be going in a couple of months and hope to find much drier conditions!
I notice at Big Knife Portage on the Canadian side, there is a shorter portage on the American side. Is this option only used in lower water times?
