Kawishiwi River.

May the rivers be crooked and winding, and your portages lonesome, leading to the most amazing view.

Looking North from our island campsite from the earlier photo with these two - there's some overlap. First one is NNW, second is due N.

Disappointment. (literally :))

Two hints:

First, someone has guessed an adjacent lake.

Second, for anyone wondering if they should read anything into the fact that I have not specified where this lake is located...the answer is yes. Yes you should.

Last evening at this site, looking west by southwest.

Sharp eyes will note the lights from another campsite on the right bank of this narrows.

To be a little less obtuse with that second clue...

I was referring to the fact that we usually call out "BWCA" or "Quetico".

Is this in the BWCA or in Quetico?

Yes.

OK folks, that hint seemed to work for some and not for others. Spelling it out for all: this lake is in both the BWCA and in Quetico.

It has at least a handful of portages and two handfuls of campsites.

This misfit lake has the following portage-adjacent lakes:

Two appear likely to be named for people
Two are in the category of ‘Flora’
One is in the category of ‘Fauna’
One is a color
And I believe one is un-named
