Honestly I think it would have taken us at least a full day to paddle that, guessing even a day and a half or two days of paddling. You can get to Iron through Medro entry point with less paddling, just a lot of portaging.

Sounds like a restful trip for your party.


You mentioned the boat ride in was two hours. If you didn't take that option how long would it have taken you to paddle to the place her dropped you off?


I can't catch walleyes either. But any freshly caught in the bwca tastes great!
