My brother and I are heading up in two weeks. I was wondering can I filter and use lake water or do we need to bring our supply. Anthony

Lake water in Big Island Lake wilderness is good quality. Filter or boil is fine.

You are welcome. Have a good trip. But, don't tell anybody about this little gem of a park. Let's keep it to ourselves.....

I'm going there for the first week of October, going in September 29th. I was there for a couple days last October and had the whole place to myself. It's pretty nice.

I filtered my water.

I saw so much birch bark everywhere I went. Didn't need any other tinder.

Here's my trip report from last year.

Oops, It was the end of September that I was there.
