My son and I did that - continued Through Seagull, Gabi, and back to Snowbank and Moose. 2 days from Sucker (we left EP in afternoon and camped on Birch just minutes out of Sucker.) One mapping site says 33 to 34 miles - just 26 or 27 from our site on Birch. Relatively easy iirc. No killer portages. 2 hours up Moose and 10 hours over 2 days to Sag.

I've done it quite a few times, and others have too. 30 miles in 8 hours. That would be solo, single portaging, and pushing hard.
Quickest route is along the canadian border, but there are other longer ways to get there too.

Thanks for your answer. Looks like to get to get to Saganaga Lake is to hire an outfitter to get a tow. Can I drive straight to Saganaga Lake entry point #55 and park there, unless there is no parking lot there?

mwatson: "What is the best way to do it if you only have one vehicle? Leave your canoe and gear at the entry, drive the 3.5 hrs to park your vehicle at the exit and then take an uber 3.5 hrs back to your entry point?"
No Ubers but you might be able to arrange a shuttle with an outfitter,but that is a very long drive - like 4 hours.
As I noted, we looped back. The logistics make it not practical for me. The only practical option would be finding another group going opposite direction, starting same day or so close. Meet and swap cars so your leaving their car at your entry/their exit, them doing same.
Lots of great loops at either end of that stretch if you can't do a big loop.
