Looking for an area in the BWCA to hike that would be an easy (~5 miles/day) weekend hike. Any suggestions on trails to do?

The Sioux Hustler trail from entry #14 looks interesting but I wonder how far the campsites are apart and if I could do it on a weekend?

I've hike Angleworm several times so I'm looking for other areas.

Thanks.

The Sioux Hustler has a campsite at Devil's Cascade which is about 6 miles in. The second campsite at Pagent Lake is another 7 or 8 miles. The whole trail is about 32 miles. It can be done as a 3 day hike but each day is over 10 miles.
Caribou Rock Trail would be a good overnight staying at a campsite west of Rose Lake cliffs and coming out South Lake Trail.
Another nice overnight would be to walk into Bingshick Lake on the east entry of the Kek.
At the west entry of the Kek you could hike into Becoosin/Benezie Loop.

on the sioux-hustler trail there is a campsite on shell lake that can be easily accessed from the trail, actually you will think you are on the trail and will end up at this campsite. my computer won't let me read campsite numbers but it is about 1/4 mile north of the 220 rod portage, west side of lake. devils cascade makes a better campsite.

Hike in to geogobic(sp?) lake campsite. Some nice side hikes, and a nice site. I wonder if there might be a trail from there to stairway falls? The hike coming in from the east is very clear all the way. From the west half is flat easy, and half is miserable roots, big climbs, rocky, and at one point a stream has taken over the trail.
