jillpine: "Hi klanks,
I took my first solo three years ago using Baker Lake (EP 39). Other than the many flotillas on the popular route, it was a great first choice because of smaller bodies of water - very pretty (and popular) area.

+1. Great area. Easier portages. Go out to South Temperance and back.
Looking for more adventure? The Cherokee Lake Loop can be done in 3-4 days. 4-5 Days makes it an easy loop with the Cherokee to Sawbill chunk the longest day.
