Hi all!
First year in many that I am base camping. Stuart Lake. Excited to fish, cook ridiculously good food, sightsee, and relax! My crew and I are in great shape and above average paddlers. Considering a few different day trips, open to others! What is realistic from Stuart Lake?
- Pictographs on Lac La Croix
- Boathouse north of Agnes (on Lac La Croix?)
- Falls going into Stuart from Dahlgren River
What am I missing? Anything worth seeing in iron lake? What else is out there? Curtain falls is a bit long for a day trip I imagine?
Thanks in advance everyone!

Would you go up Dahlgren to get to Lac La Croix? I stayed on the north end of Stuart a couple of years ago, and I think it took us about three hours or so to make it to the northwest end of Iron. Maybe an hour to get from there to Curtain Falls.

fishnfreak: "not tough at all by bushwhack standards. Just a couple of hours over there. The first time might take you longer, the way back is much quicker once you know the way and land markers."
or do what I did and keep bushwacking east with all your gear to the beartrap river and take that north to iron.
Only do this route if you want the hardest possible route to iron :)
seriously tho I would maybe go in and back out on a day trip to get the extra remote and untouched wilderness experience.

I saw a bunch of giant suckers hanging out in the rapids/current when i was lining my canoe through an area just before or just after sterling lake. I spooked the whole school of them and they rushed out past me into the lake. I didn't have time to fish this area but it looked worth trying.
