06/27/2018 07:28AM Time was my problem, I wanted to explore that area, but I ended up spending 3 days on Agnes fishing and looking at the Falls, picto’s and the petroglyphs, then going through woodside, Trant just didn’t leave enough time to explore Ptolemy. Maybe some day... T |

06/27/2018 06:41AM I was paddling from Silence to Trant once, and thought I saw something like a portage landing on the no name lake that the creek from Ptolemy runs into. We were pretty tired from negotiating those portages and were pushing to Trant so I didn't stop to negotiate. |

06/27/2018 12:32AM Intriguing notion. Though I must say that the current portages to the North and to the west of Silence (running to Trant or to Reid) are, rod for rod, some of the most rugged in the park. I imagine the bushwhacks would be really tough. |

06/26/2018 10:11PM I’ve only heard rumors of people going there. Those routes look like the way to go. Rumor I heard was walleyes we’re in there, don’t even know where I heard that now so not worth much :) T |

06/26/2018 08:50PM Always been interested; seemed like a lake worth getting to. Anyone know if there was ever a route through there? I took the following pic of my old Superior National Forest Map. They show these "canoe routes" in Ontario for some reason. Of course, who knows where they get the info...might be some mapmakers fantasy.
