09/27/2018 02:17PM Have a friend who couldn't go with us Oct 12-15, but wants to go Nov 2-4th instead. That could be interesting. I have my hunch that it will turn into a backpacking trip, or no trip at all, since I'm certainly not using my wenonah to break ice. I wouldn't worry about getting water though, just getting iced in, or blizzarded in. |

09/27/2018 07:28AM If you're backpacking and only need water, I can't imagine you wouldn't be able to find a rock and break through whatever ice there is--or might be. Paddling out can be impossible if things ice up, but on foot I think you'd be OK. |

09/26/2018 10:36AM Day time temperatures as well as overnight temps will be critical for freeze up but you should be fine. Hope you bring a lantern or two as daylight hours are really short that time of the year. Welcome to the board and have a great trip. |

09/21/2018 05:33PM I wouldn't worry about finding water in November. You should be able to break some ice and get at water, or find some running water, or melt snow. |

09/21/2018 03:03PM Obviously will be watching week to week but typically how late in the fall is it safe to assume the smaller lakes with be open water? We’re looking to be backpacking but still need water source. |
