Hi everyone-

I never heard of WCPP until about a month ago when a buddy of mine mentioned about possibly making a trip there. I grew up in NE Minnesota so have spent a lot of time summer and winter camping in the BWCA. Since I now live in NW Minnesota it only makes sense that I start exploring WCPP. I'm planning (party of 2) a 4 night trip over Memorial Day weekend to Leano and was wondering if folks could help answer a couple questions:
- Is a person able to drive north out of Kenora to the entry point? Or would I have to go through Ear Falls, then head east? I have a full size pickup four-wheel drive.
- Artificial bait recommendations/lakes/methods for lake trout and walleye? I understand no live bait (I usually brought live bait into BWCA)

Those were my main two questions. I'll probably just plan on making a small loop this trip and camp at two separate locations. I'm getting excited!

no!
you go thru Kenora on 17 to 105 north then out of Ear Falls go west 70 miles on LongLegged Road (804) , take your time, it is extreme washboard and an occasional washout

coming back head north to Red Lake and take 105 south

that way you'll have taken both ways and will know which way is your preferred route, you could also reverse them, go in thru Red Lake and out thru Longlegged Road

My personal opinion is the route out of Ear Falls is not a time saver. The road is usually worse and there is more of it so it will slow you down.

I'm not trying to make it seem like the Red Lake route is a piece of cake as the road from Red Lake is not much better but it is shorter distance. Less driving on this type of road is easier on the vehicle, fewer chances for a washout and less chance of delaying the trip.

I'd drive to Red Lake if its me.

I agree, from red lake to Leano it's about 40 miles. It's a lot better road to Johnson lake than you will slow down a little more. If you try to blow through there cause you have a truck and all you'll put more stress on your vehicle than you need to. As far as artificial bait, I know people use spoons, jigs and rapalas... I'd go with what typically works for you.

I thought he was asking for facts, not recommendations.
It’s interesting you people are recommending he take a route that we know someone on the board who didn’t make it while we don’t know anybody who failed to make it taking the LongLegged route.
My recommendation is to be a man and make your own choice, it’s your trip. Ask for facts if you need them.

You look as much as recommendation as anyone. Cause we don't maybe agree don't mean we're not giving the better option. From what Claire was saying after the businesses that road services that road is very sketchy at best. It's not that much further just to go to Red Lake... And since you have fishing questions, why not stop and ask Harlan what is working best at the time your going. Going long-legged road puts you on rougher road for almost 30 more miles. Fact... Thirty more miles of washboard and all is a lot more wear and tear on your vehicle than the few additional miles going to Red Lake. Ask Harlan about wear and tear. Haha... They love him at the suspension shop. Haha! I'm assuming zarasp00k has his facts straight on long-legged Rd being 70 miles. Might want to try both the Dryden way and the kenora way to know which way you like better on that stretch. It's kind of a wash but Dryden is the way everyone I've gone with prefers assuming you are coming from ft Frances.

Never heard of anyone not making it on the suffel lake road.

Not to cause controversy but my "opinion" is based on the fact of having driven to Leano and other WCPP entries a few times. So we can mince words but the facts are as stated-the road out of Red Lake is just as fast and less wear and tear on the vehicle and the driver.

Karola you do what you want, and maybe trying both routes (one heading in-the other heading out) would be worth it to you to understand the options, but I will tell you that once you do both routes and roads you will most likely opt for the Red Lake route as Ben and I have shared. Ben (nctry) also has a lot of experience going into WCPP.

I also go through Dryden coming from Fort Francis. Go East out of Fort Francis on 11 taking the 502 north to Dryden, west on 17 to Vermillion Bay where you turn north again on 105 through Ear Falls to Red Lake. Either routes work (Dryden, Kenora), I just like the Dryden route better. If you know there are major delays along the causeway over Rainy Lake due to road construction (there always seems to be some construction going on) then go through Kenora. Last year the delay was very minimal so maybe this year will be similar.

Either way you go to the Leano EP be sure you have a fully aired up spare tire that is in good shape. Make sure you also have your jack and a decent tool box in case you have an issue. I know quite a few guys have a portable jump starter along in case they get back from their trip and the vehicle won't start. There is No cell coverage along most of both roads so having a satellite phone is a good idea in case of emergency. Its a long way to civilization and help so be prepared.

I am going to throw a new idea at you. Since you are from NW MN you are a prime candidate to enter WCPP from the Manitoba side. Six hours after you cross the Canadian border you would be loading your canoe at Wallace Lake near Bissett, Manitoba. Different writers have trip journals from the Wanipigow River entrance to WCPP at canoestories.com.

You mention a four night trip so you will probably be single portaging. You would paddle east on Wallace Lake and take the portage instead of the winding river to Siderock Lake. You would probably be into WCPP on Crystal Lake in 4-6 hours. Nice camp there just past the entrance portage. The second day you could paddle and portage to Broken Arrow and head south and do one portage into Haggart Lake and its Lake Trout. Other wise it is only Northern Pike until you get there.

there you go again, sending him to Fort Frances, LOL

I assume anyone going to WC can read a map and probably figure out himself what route to take, he just wanted to know if there is a route north out of Kenora. Looking at a map, it is easy to understand why somebody would ask. Considering people shy away from LongLegged, I doubt anyone here has tried 658. I haven't, it would be quite an adventure. It would probably take the entire weekend and require extensive use of a chain saw and perhaps some bridge building. If the OP takes it, I'd love to hear a trip report. It is possible they have even closed it and consequently isn't passable by any means.

If I were to give an opinion, I'd say don't bother going to WC over Memorial weekend, it is much too short of time for a trip like that, but it's the OP's time, and he can spend it any way he likes. That's not for me to decide. I know if I were planning a trip like that I wouldn't want people telling me not to do it, just answer my questions so I can have the best time possible.

quote Marten: "

If I were to give an opinion, this would be it

Thanks for all the information. I had no idea you could enter from the Manitoba side so I'm going to explore that option- Mapquest puts Bissett at just over 5 hours from my house. It's either that or probably stay in Baudette Friday night and drive to Leano or Onnie through Red Lake Saturday. The reason I was considering Leano was because, looking at a map, it appeared to be the closest entry point.

You could take the Reditt Rd (658) north out of Kenora. That is a long way to go on a back road, but it appears to go all the way to Longlegged Lake.
You can go west from Ear Falls on 804. That intersects with 658 right at Longlegged lake.
I prefer to stay on pavement as much as I can. So going all the way to Red Lake and then going around to the EP is probably a better driving option.
Of course, the west entry is the best driving situation giving you the least distance to travel on backroads.

Just an observation - with 4 days, I'd pick Leano as my EP. Most of the other choices (whether entering from east or west) means you likely spend at least a full day retracing your "steps" of your entry on your exit. With a Leano EP, you can make a bit of a loop that starts and ends at Leano. You might head out toward Bunny and return via Upper Kilburn (or vice versa). This would allow you to explore a bit more new water during your trip.

If I were making an approach recommendation, I'd drive up to Red Lake and enter on Suffel Lake Road. If you find the road unsuitable for your vehicle (and it gets progressively worse as you head toward Leano), you could decide to enter the park at Onnie Lake or even Johnson Lake.

As for lure recommentations, that would heavily depend on time of year you plan to go. You should also be advised that lake fish populations are not as "universal" as you'd find in the BWCA or Quetico. All lakes will likely have northerns. Some lakes have walleye, some have lakers, and some have both. (You are not likely to be on any lakes with smallies.) The overall good news: these fish don't receive a lot of fishing pressure, so they are not as selective as to what apparently represents food as in the aforementioned parks. Not catching anything is much more likely a function of the bite being off as opposed to what fishing lure you are using.

Even though it is a bit longer to Red Lake than Bissett, I can cross the Baudette border 24 hours vs having to wait until 9am if I were to go the Bissett route. Looking at it closer I'm thinking the Johnson-Douglas-Hatchet-Embryo-Telescope loop. Looks like about a 30 mile loop. Plus a lot of these lakes offer lake trout and walleye. Seems like a good first time route since I only have 5 days to work with. I could probably be at the entry point by noon and still have many hours to paddle in and set up camp.

quote karola: " Looking at it closer I'm thinking the Johnson-Douglas-Hatchet-Embryo-Telescope loop. "

Johnson is a nice entry point and avoids most of the ugly road. It's a nicely maintained gravel road until you get about 3 miles from Johnson Lake. Last year it took me 15 minutes to drive that last 3 miles in my little front wheel drive car. Since you'll be driving it in a 4x4 truck please be watchful on blind corners. If someone is coming the other way, especially in a little front wheel drive car, they might be in your lane as it's the only option to get up the hill.

quote karola: "Looking at it closer I'm thinking the Johnson-Douglas-Hatchet-Embryo-Telescope loop."

Just keep in mind that it is possible to run into some motor boat traffic on several of these lakes. Going out of Leano, you'd only see motor traffic on the main Kilburn Lake (which is connected to Sydney Lake).

The Hatchets don't present many camping options. Just an FYI. The first one you will enter from Douglas, I believe it's Upper Hatchet but I could be wrong, has sites on the southern half of the lake in a tucked away bay. It's due west from the portage. The upper portion on the eastern shoreline has 2 or so sites as well though I haven't stayed at any of these. Telescope has 2 nice sites on the east /west opposing corners of a large, mid-lake island. I've stayed on this one :).

I came across a map that shows those campsites along with some on Embryo. Looks like lake trout and walleye in that area so I'm content. I'll probably stay on Telescope a night or two.

There is a very nice campsite on Hatchet about three fourths of the way from the east end. It is on a point on the north side a little past the bay on the south side that leads to the Upper Hatchet portage. It is only 3-4 hours from the Johnson entrance.

wow, you girls scared him from the Leano entry entirely, and to a place he may be sharing with motors, not to mention the fact he better like portages
sure there is a 300 rod portage from Leano to Bunny, but it is one of the most pleasant portages you'll find, I doubt you'd encounter anyone on Bunny, although maybe see someone pass by
I've thought of a short trip in that area myself, WC is kinda odd in that solitude is usually by the EP's, the crowd is in the interior

but I guess I am as guilty as anyone, the road up from Reddit might be an option, it's just that nobody here has taken it, you could easily burn an hour taking a wrong turn, what I do is set waypoints on my GPS at every possible turn so I know which way to go, in fact my GPS is more for getting to the put in, after that it is mostly maps

Well if you head from Leano to Bunny, I'd recommend you drop your canoe at about 60 rods because the last 240 rods are usually VERY wet!

DD, I'll be going in this way in early June even if Karola may not. Good to know!

The park road report should keep you from trying the road north from Redditt. I tryed it back in 2001 when it was maintained because it looked like a fast way to Leano. We rattled along at 40 km an hour and took more time than the other options and that was when it recieved maintenance.

I think everyone is just trying to help out here so that all who read this thread will learn some things about the park. I laughed when reading DD's pointers on the wetness after the first 60 rods. Beware that the park map list portages in meters but many assume the numbers are rods.

H-N-D

Just so we are on the same page here ... the portage is 300 METERS, not 300 RODS. Since the conversion rate is roughly 5 to 1 a 300 meter portage is about 60 rods. (Walking 300 rods puts you quite a few yards into the water.)

;-)

yeah, like somebody is going to keep walking when they hit the water

since nobody has taken it(road thru Reddit) in so many years, the thing to do would be contact somebody in the area
the park now extends to below Sydney, how do you suppose you get to the EP on the lake below Sydney (Rowdy)? you have two choices take the road thru Reddit, or take LongLegged and take the road to Reddit down to the EP. I guess the other option is to paddle up the river from below like you can on the Bird River (Oiseau River).

"South Pakwash Rd - For a number of years, those traveling from the west (Manitoba and Kenora) had the option of taking Hwy 658 from Kenora to Reddit then South Pakwash north all the way to Long Legged Rd to reach Mile 51 Rd and the Leano entry. In recent years, a large washout at Rogers Lk created a road block forcing travelers to take a detour east on the Conifer Rd. Hunters have since patched up the washout and gotten across but we do not monitor the conditions of this road system at all. "

"LongLegged Rd – The approach to Leano from Ear Falls via the Manitou Falls Dam Rd (Hwy 804) and Longlegged Rd was once the preferred option to reach Mile 51 Rd to Leano. However, it now receives very low to nil maintenance and is not monitored as closely as we do the northern approach using the Suffel/Iriam Rd. Park signage may be missing - needs addressing. Two or 3 low-level crossings will be encountered as you near the Mile 51 Rd. Note that if emergency repairs are required on these backroads, the Suffel/Iriam Rd will receive priority. If choosing this option, expect to travel at least 2 hrs on a gravel road before reaching Mile 51 and Leano. Update - passable only truck, not recommended for use by cars and low riding vehicles." Spook note: if you put one set of tires on the center of the road, your other set of tires are also out of the main path, much smoother going (you are welcome)

I guess you people would drive up to Red Lake and then drive back, essentially doubling the distance, and you'd still end up on both LongLegged & 658 (road from Reddit)

this could be a very attractive place to enter the park for those of us who prefer to paddle as opposed to portage, just hit Sydney early in the morning and it should be calm and free from boats, allowing you to get to Kilburn.

FWIW, as someone has already mentioned, all of these roads are passable with a 2 wheel drive, and I believe a few people have even done it in low clearance vehicles (no word on whether their muffler made it) I myself do it with a front wheel drive high clearance vehicle. The trick is to go fast enough so you do not have to press down on the accelerator more when ascending a hill, nor brake when going down. In fact if you have to brake, I'd say you are going too fast. The road bed is for the most part glacial till which means the rocks are rounded and act more like ball bearings than a source of friction, so make a choice, accelerate, or brake, or turn, just don't do more than one at a time.

DD, I agree. I read that in Zaraspook's post and had the same thought that he was referring to the meters measurement when he notex them as rods. No need to make that portage any longer!

I'm curious how you people say it is the same amount of time from Red Lake to Leano.

You should be able to make it in 2 1/4 hr using LongLegged, 2 1/2 for sure. It's 45 minutes minimum from the intersection of LongLegged below Ear Falls to Red Lake, so that means you have to make it from Red Lake in 1 1/2 hr down to Leano. If you have somebody drive you down it's gonna take another hour to jaw, load gear, and get going. I'm calling BS on your statement that you don't save any time by taking LongLegged.

If you are gonna eat someplace before or after, or need to pick up something, sure, go thru Red Lake, but if you aren't doing that I just don't get it, you are going a long ways out of your way to go thru Red Lake to get to Leano. IMO, the section north of Leano is a more difficult drive than LongLegged because of the hills and low spots, LongLegged is fairly flat in comparison.

I understand you people have your preference, I just want people to know, you don't have to go to Red Lake. And some of us actually enjoy exploring back roads, we see things and discover things you won't find on a paved road.

What everyone needs to understand is that the logging companies have pulled out and no longer maintain anything out there. With a high clearance 4wd, good tires and spares,chainsaw,pick and shovel plus a lot of time you could use any of these roads. I have used them all but my choice lately is to park at Johnson and head for any lake. Using the Gammon River 24 hours of actual paddling can put you on the west boundary of WCPP.

apparently you missed this:
"Hunters have since patched up the washout and gotten across but we do not monitor the conditions of this road system at all. "
there are others who depend upon these roads

while it wouldn't be dumb to take a chain saw, I wonder how smart it would be to leave it in your vehicle? how about stash in the woods? take it with on your trip?

I'll give an alternative:
I came across a downed tree, I had three options:
1) run over it (and risk damage to vehicle)
2) get out my saw and trim branches, then run over it
3) use a stout rope I have to tie to tree, and tie to a hook on my frame

I did the latter, pulled it far enough out of the way
next time I go I'm bringing a hand winch that I inherited from my father and is almost worthless (except when you need it) and a tow rope I also got from him

you could bring all the stuff you mention, but if a rock takes out your oil pan, what are you going to do? as always common sense is the most effective tool, and it doesn't take up any space

It's nice we got the road question answered. :)

In May the Lakers will be shallow and so will the walleyes. Rapalas, jigs with twister tails with some different colors. Maybe a spoon or two. If the bite is on and it should be the lure won't make much difference.

Please report back and let us know how it went.

Good info and plan. I'll add just that I discussed with Harlan at expo and he mentioned the road is generally "soft" which makes it tricky to navigate. I've never been further than Johnson however others on that trip had to drive down to Onnie to pick up another car and remarked that they had 'forgotten how bad that road is'.

I realize too that the condition of the road is discussed and reassessed every year. It should be interesting to see what condition is in now -- there is apparently little to no snow but still plenty of ice which is not surprising for this time of year.

yep.

Up here in Red Lake... Kind of found humor in some posts here on the roads. Right now Howie bay is looking dark and the last plane flew off the ice tonight while eating dinner. Harlan had a grin thinking he'd get to paddle soon. Staying at the super 8... Thanks to Harlan. As far as suggested routes I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. The boats on the portage between hatchet and telescope were annoying to me. But I recall meeting locals going in to spend the weekend on embryo to fish.

Thanks, Marten. I did come across this site when planning my trip. Since my entry point got shutdown the Wednesday before my trip I decided to go to Quetico instead. So I might possibly make a fall trip to WCPP. If I don't do that I certainly plan on making a 1-week trip there next May/June.
