Always was curious about this lake?
Lake naming and chance for input

Many times going across Burke I looked on the map and said maybe I should check this lake out? Never did.

Naming after Bud Heinselman seems like a pretty decent idea.

+1 I finished reading his book last winter. Lots of great info on the Quetico ecosystem. I was smarter after reading this. Boundary Waters Ecosystem

That has to rank right up there with the best book of the BWCA history and especially the ecosystem.

A friend of mine was in there, and caught a 10 pound pike.
I think easiest way in, is from the West.

I once thought I seen a little trail going that way from basswood,but looked closer and it looked like it petered out.

Since Shan Walshe is already taken, I think Heinselman is the next best one. :)

That is really cool, thanks for sharing the article.

I think that is a great idea!

Very deserving. Enjoy referencing his research from time to time.

+1 The book is a masterpiece. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Heinselman shortly before his death in the early 1990s. He LOVED the canoe country. I fully support naming a lake after him, and filled out the form online.
