Planning a trip over 4th of July weekend. July 5th I will be entering little isabella river(EP#75) and exiting S. Kawishiwi(#32). Never used a shuttle service before and wondering what outfitters people have had good experiences with in the past.

My plan is to catch a shuttle the evening of the 4th(if possible) and just camp some where in the woods near the entry that night. On the water first thing the 5th.

Thanks to all who respond. Attached is a picture from my trip last weekend on isabella lake we put in at island and paddled there for the journey. Trip report coming soon.

Piragis, Spirit of the Wilderness or Voyageur North - all have done a great job for me in the past.

Call around for price. I always use Canoe Country Outfitters but YMMV.

Ely Outfitting is a fantastic outfitter that can provide a shuttle, trip planning, permits, etc. We have used them for several years now and highly recommend their shop. Enjoy the trip!

Come to find that most outfitters do not shuttle paddlers unless they ate outfitting though them. Happy to day there were a few that do , I ended up booking a ride with spirit of the wilderness. First solo trip, couldnt be more excited. Thanks all that responded! Happy paddling!

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep Spirit of the Wilderness in mind for when we need service like that.
