03/01/2021 02:12PM Good to know, thanks for the comments. The plan is to visit WP first and see if any sites are open and if they are taken, head down to Pine. I'd like to visit both lakes during our trip and it looks like a nice little loop (pending wind of course). |

03/01/2021 08:30AM You can absolutely get from Clearwater entry to Pine in a day. Most would go via Caribou which would be less, easier portaging and would be faster, but you could go via West Pike if you want. Clearwater->WP is longish but easy. WP->Pine is in fine condition but long and quite the climb-and-descent. |

03/01/2021 08:22AM although i have not done the portage from WP to Pine, i heard it's up then down. but clearwater to pine doable in a day , one intangible will be the wind , when the wind picks up on those east-west lakes , it can get nasty. |
