HighnDry	07/22/2020 12:27PM Hey MC2020, Feel free to join the site. It's free and a painless minute or two to type in the info needed. Lots of great resources and different forum groups that will be eager to help you with your planning and research. Also, post up a trip report when you get back if you get the time. I'm sure we all would be interested in how your adventure played out! Good luck!
MC2020	07/21/2020 03:20PM egknuti Thanks for the estimate!
egknuti	07/21/2020 03:00PM It’s been a while since I’ve traveled all the way to Bald Eagle but I think between 4-5 hours seems correct. Unless you’ve got a strong west wind. That would make crossing Bald Eagle a little more challenging.
MC2020	07/21/2020 02:31PM Thanks for the information. I think that camping at Bald Eagle lake will have to be our plan. Any idea on how long that paddle will be? We are fit late 20s, two person canoe.
CityFisher74	07/21/2020 02:08PM You'll find a lack of the larger trees but as always, nature is coming back with a vengeance in this area.
egknuti	07/21/2020 01:39PM The first day of your trip will be mostly burn area. I don’t think you’ll want to camp there. I’d try to get to Bald Eagle to look for a site. But there is good fishing in the river.
MC2020	07/21/2020 01:32PM Thank you these are great. I'm glad to see some regrowth.

cyclones30	07/21/2020 12:13PM I believe there have been a few recent trip reports from those areas with pictures. It's definitely recovering but limited as far as large trees obviously.
MC2020	07/21/2020 10:16AM Hi All, I have a permit for entry 34, Island river with a 4 day canoe planned. From Island River to Isabella River into bald Eagle Lake and then Gabbro Lake. Does anyone have recent photos of how the area looks after the 2009 Fire? I want to set my expectations accordingly. Many Thanks!
