What a laid back trip. Looked like a great time was had by all.

Another great report. Thanks for sharing. Larch Creek is on my "to do" list. You should have known those guys up in Upsala would be out working hard.

Added a few more photos that I was unable to get loaded earlier when initially putting the report together.

Thanks for the great report. We will be heading that way on the 18th. I am hoping there will still be blueberries.

I will be up there near the end of August as well. Is it realistic to expect either blueberries or Juneberries?

There were still several green berries when we were there. I think there's a good chance you'll still run into them.

Thanks for the report. Boy, you really did hit the mother lode for blueberries. I can just imagine how great they taste. I love blueberry pie.

TB,
Great report, I always enjoy the pictures. An area that we have considered, it needs to be moved up on the lists of "to do" areas.

Good summer memories. I can't believe the blueberry haul you had. I'll have to time a trip just for those! Thanks for sharing your story.

TB, You write a very nice story of the trip. Looks like you foundered on Blue berries. :) Nice Bell Canoe, I like it.
Hope the baby is growing and driving you crazy.

First & foremost I'd like to thank mocha & Gunflint Northwoods Outfitters.

Also, all those who organized the BWCA.com 2012 spring wing night. We used the gift certificate to go in through Larch Creek.

This was a return trip for me. So I've just included some photos from the trip. 2012 Larch Creek trip

Here is a short video as well. Having fun in the rain
