Hi All - I tried this post on the Fishing Forum but didn't get much response, so I will try it here. Perhaps the non response actually IS the answer haha. Thanks for reading and any info is appreciated!

Checking if any fellow paddlers have any info as to the status of the portages north of Northern Light?

In the 1970s Dad said the BWCA and Quetico were too crowded and too motorized, so we did a family trip twice on Crown Lands - as I recall it was north from NLL up thru Mowe and north thru Plummes to Greenwood, then west, then south thru Twinhouse and Ross to Bitchu, and out through Saganagons.

The portages were maintained by the Ontario MNR and were marked with small yellow metal triangle signs nailed to trees at the landings. As I recall. Hey its been 50 years so its a little sketchy..... The area was being logged but felt very remote and unused.

I'd like to go back to this area but am fearful it's just one giant bushwhack. Does anyone have any info??? Most interested as to whether one can get through, I am also of course interested in fishing the route. I am a much better fisherman now haha.

Any tips, second hand or first hand, appreciated!

In the late 90's I paddled the creek from Northern Light into Mowe. When we got to Mowe, we were surprised by all of the activity. There were 5 or 6 groups of people camped right off the logging road that goes past Mowe and several boats on the lake. It is a beautiful lake. It's very possible that the logging road that went all the way to Mowe has since washed out/grown in. My experience with the lakes in that region has been that they get hit really hard when access to them is first opened/reopened by logging operations. After a few years attention shifts to the next lake(s).

Thank you! And you are about 20 years more current than me....but that is still 25+ years ago.....anyone have any current info?
