This map shows a non-existent lake between Sawbill and Smoke Lakes. There is actually only a narrow creek between them.

In this description it lists #38, Sawbill Lake as an "overnight paddle only". When I called the Tofte ranger station, I was informed that day-paddles from this entry are allowed -just fill out the day-use self-issued form at the kiosk right at the landing.
