Glad you had a great time. 170 is a nice site. Next time you visit it, venture back west behind the island and fish Never Fail Bay.

Glad you had a good trip. It's a nice area, but can be busy.

I enjoyed your report. Your photos are so nice and I wish you had posted more of them for us to see.


Lac la Croix is special to me. It was central to my very first canoe trip in 1971 and I have returned there since, most happily, on several occasions. Thanks for sharing.

Nice report. I'm sure you'll be back for more. If you want to escape the crowds, Quetico might be an option.
