Twenty9inarow: "straighthairedcurly: "I love the Kawishiwi River. However, I think it is easier to get away from people if you head through the numbered lakes and toward Insula and Alice. Lots of great areas to visit. If you make it far enough, the Fishdance pictographs are wonderful."
Could you tell me more about your experiences on the river.. What do you love about the river... "
Once you get below the triangle where the North Kawishiwi splits off the amount of traffic usually diminishes. One portage and a longish paddle down the river brings you to a wider spot with an exceptional campsite. Be careful fishing here. in the past our group caught northern pike up to 15 pounds that had teeth marks where a larger northern pike had grabbed them.
Some days in this area we saw no other canoes, some times there could be 4 or more. Most of the time it was pretty quiet except the year of the Delta Lake fire where every plane and helicopter fighting that fire passed right over the campsite.
