Had great time camping in my new SnowTrekker Tent last winter at Bear Head State Park... now time to camp in the BWCA. My friends and I love to Nordic ski, so looking for a place to camp where we can ski to the Central Gunflint Ski Trails (Golden Eagle Lodge area)... heard Moon Lake great place to camp.. does it work to take portage to Flour Lake to access the trails ( I know need to pay for ski pass first)... thanks!

I think I've seen the portage to Moon packed down a few times over the years. It wouldn't be the most fun portage to pull a sled over but it isn't to long. It might be easiest to park at Clearwater and ski your gear into Moon that way, since that portage is flat and almost always packed. Then you could come up the Moon-Flour portage with out gear.

Camped on Moon many times, always came in from Clearwater.
A rewarding ski bushwack to go from Moon to Ivory, Rocky, Johnson falls and return by pine, Little Caribou, Caribou, Deer. Done that a few times. Frozen falls are interesting.

quote jwartman59: "this is a gorgeous trail system and very well maintained. backcountry skis would take all the fun out of it. bring your best skis, skate or classic. these trails will spoil you.

Where is this photo taken? Is it always groomed like this? -- Would love to check it out this winter.
Thanks!

We had 10k of great skiing from Nov. 5th till the weekend after Thanksgiving. I had 100k on skis by the 16th! We got a little warm after Thanksgiving and the trails are pretty icy. We'll see what the tiller can do tomorrow, but we only have 3-4" of base to work with.
