GreatBigCubsFan	01/28/2015 06:52AM quote Neva: "We were just up there this weekend winter camping on Disappointment for a couple nights, came in through Snowbank. We snowshoed in, but the trail was so packed we just walked out in our boots. A group came through dogsledding following our tracks and came back by the end of the day. Got a couple smallmouth bass and a decent pike. There is a snowplowed trail halfway down snowbank to some icehuts, so pretty easy walking there. There were three spots of open water, one on snowbank, the others on Disappointment. " How many inches of ice are there?

GreatBigCubsFan	01/11/2015 03:29PM I just made a reservation about $100 for 3 guys. Not bad! We made dinner and breakfast reservations. Thanks for the tip about leaving the truck there.
Pinetree	01/11/2015 03:18PM quote wvevans: "Smittys for sure, great breakfast and super good guys!" Stayed there 30 years ago,nice place than and I am sure it still is a quality place. Probably a little more expensive than a place in town,but your right there for a starting place and probably could leave your vechile there. Worth checking out the prices?

GreatBigCubsFan	01/11/2015 09:24AM quote Pinetree: "Been a long time,but I think the dog sleds go thru parent in the winter than to disappointment." Who should we contact for an overnight stay before we head into Snowbank?
GreatBigCubsFan	01/09/2015 10:05PM Thanks man!
Campcraft	01/09/2015 09:50PM No, they go to the other portage. I have gone there the last 5-6 years. Mike

GreatBigCubsFan	01/09/2015 07:44PM Does anyone have any experience with the two options of going into disappointment lake from snowbank?
