Ccjmcloutier	01/17/2026 09:08AM Does anyone know if the Forest Service will be removing the beaver dams this winter? Concerned funding shortages to address those dams may result in a tougher paddle in the spring.

dogwoodgirl	09/21/2025 12:56PM I camped at the first site on Perent and saw moose.
NEIowapaddler	09/19/2025 08:14PM Pinetree: "that aways looked moosey,but never seen any moose-have you?" I didn't see any on my trip but the outfitter said he saw the biggest bull he'd ever seen along Hog Creek a few years ago.

NEIowapaddler	09/19/2025 07:08AM That sounds like my experience there 3 years ago. Same time of year. It was by far the most brutal paddling I've ever done. I swore I'd never paddle that Hog Creek again unless the water was high lol.
LindenTree	09/18/2025 07:04PM Wow, 45 minutes one way on that river. Doubt a beaver could make it that fast. I was a BWCA ranger for a few years and that river route would take us ~2 hours each way.
