04/09/2021 05:34AM We've done this entry many times. It is really nice and the river has never given us any trouble. You'll enjoy this spot I'm sure. Good luck! |

04/08/2021 01:05PM I came up Moose R from LLC last Sept when water levels were low in all the lakes...not a problem in the river, although a couple spots were thick with weeds/lily pads that slowed the paddle down quite a bit....never had to get out the canoe except for the large beaver dam just south of Nina Moose and the normal portages..... |

04/08/2021 11:03AM The upper portion of the river has been flooded by a beaver dam so that section has not been a problem in recent years. As you get closer to Nina Moose you may encounter several small beaver dams that you may have to get out and pull your canoe over. |

04/06/2021 08:17PM We've entered or exited through EP 16 six different trips, all of them in Sept. 1 year we had to get out and walk the canoes through a short stretch of the river south of Nina Moose Lake. In this area, the river had a very firm sand bottom so the walking was nice. All other trips we were able to paddle the full distance with no problems. |

04/06/2021 06:53PM I'm currently planning my September solo trip, and I am interested in EP 16 (Moose River North). What is the river like (normally) in September? Will I be able to paddle the distance (outside of the noted portages)? Does it dry up? I'll be 71 in September, and I don't want to slog through muck the whole way. But I would love to try this EP, it's a new one for me. Anyone been there in September? Any advice is welcome! Thanks! Dave |
