lindylair	04/01/2023 04:55AM Opening up the Vern River to a reasonable level of navigability up to Weird Lake would make for some pretty cool route options, and a pretty cool paddle. The Baker Lake and Sawbill EP's would then be in the picture as well as a larger loop route up through S. Temperance, across Brule, through Juno and out through Homer. I know some have tried it and even made it from Vern Lake to Weird Lake but none recommend it as a sane option.
Deeznuts	03/31/2023 07:52PM Definitely some type of river into the interior lakes of Ep 14. I know you can use pocket creek but having rangeline creek or heritage creek navigable would definitely make things easier to access and open up even more loop options
Argo	03/31/2023 12:55PM No, I am not proposing such an intrusive project. It's just that when I look at a map of northern Quetico I wish there was a navigable route between Lonely and Antoine and another between Alice and Buckingham. When you look at the topography, it appears God came close to completing those routes but instead rested on that day too. Any other places in canoe country where a navigable route would be on your wish list if you could have had your say in directing the process of evolution?
