Tuesday, September 15, 2020 I packed up my camp and headed to Sawbill Outfitters by about 8:30am. The friendly people at Sawbill had my canoe ready. I rented a Wenonah Vagabond solo canoe and tried out a bent paddle for the first time. I launched around 0900 and headed north on Sawbill Lake. I was very lucky on this trip as it seemed like the wind was helping me most of the time. It's a gorgeous lake and I thought that sometime I'd like to stay a night on it. But today my goal was to reach Cherokee Lake. The portages were pretty straightforward. I planned to double portage and decided to carry the canoe and the CCS Rucksack on the first trip and CCS Explorer pack with oar, fishing rod and life vest on the second. This worked well the entire journey. I reached Cherokee creek at about 1400 and off I went to find a campsite on Cherokee. I got the vibe throughout the day that it was very busy up there so I wanted to find a campsite ASAP. I found the campsite #903 was available so I took it and by about 1430 I had my place to stay. It has a gorgeous view to the north and is well protected. It isn't listed on BWCA.com as a campsite but it right where a fishing spot locater is. Might not be the best site on the lake but it was fantastic for me as a solo. My plan was to stay one night on Cherokee but if I had to do it again I would have done two. ~Sawbill Lake, Ada Lake, Skoop Lake, Cherokee Lake
