200m bushwhack, paddle and a 1000m bushwhack (4 hours) got me to this lovely lake. Found the pictured ancient fire ring (only one on the lake) and made this island home for two nights.

The walleye had likely never seen a lure, and were plentiful.

Looking out onto Lake Angus. The site had a nice landing point.

We didn’t camp here but did check out many sites on the lake and the pile of new latrines.
I’d love to see how this lake has recovered after 13 years.

Bell Lake, Quetico"

Is that the camp site that's haunted?

Top of the Rock Snipe Lake

Crooked lake at Basswood River(?). Or is that still considered Wednesday Bay. Right at the narrows

Lake One. April 2024

Northern most island site on Agnes Lake in the Q. Late May 2019.



This site is rate as 1 star, but I found it quite nice for 1 night and solo.

Moose swimming in front of campsite 908 on South Temperance. Date 2021

Site # 5 at Crosby Manitou State Park on the southern fringe of canoe country. This park is backpack only and pretty remote...and gorgeous. This site had a long stretch of rapids in front of the site and in the right edge of the photo you can see the lip of a nice little waterfall. The roar of the water was incessant and we almost had to yell at each other to be heard. We spent a few days here and did a lot of hiking and took a lot of photos. There are some real nice large waterfalls upstream a ways. A very nice place.
