I stayed a couple nights on little loon. It's a no motor lake but several came through anyway.

Not many boats head up that way, maybe half a dozen. If you want to be near the big water but want to avoid the boats, just head to little Loon. The northern site isn't bad and it's a fairly short paddle down to east Loon bay, maybe 10/15 minutes.

exemplaria: "We are going into EP14 this week. If we camp on Loon Lake (targeting East Bay) are we likely to see much motorboat traffic? I see it's allowed in the area, but seems hard to get to. "
Paddled through there couple times, camped on Loon once and Little Loon once.....only saw one boat out on Loon.

I walked the portage in late May and it was easy to find and follow with one bad turn on my part. Choose right when unsure. There were a couple downed poplars at the start that may have been removed by now. They formed an X across the path and will be a problem. Another tree downed midway that will be a Bushwack around.

Heading into EP 14 on the 11th. Anyone have any info on bug, bear, or info on the unmarked portage between Slim and Fat?
