Day 4 of 5
Saturday, June 12, 2021 My son and I got up at 4:30 to go fishing. Beautiful sunrise, light fog over the water, lots of birds singing - a perfect BWCA morning. We could only get a couple Walleye and one Northern to bite. We actually caught more fish from shore at our campsite than we did from the canoe. Mid-morning we all headed out on a day trip to Devil’s Cascade. Take the time to visit here if you are in the area. The campsite on the portage has an incredible view down into the gorge cut by the Little Indian Sioux River. We brought along a lunch for the trail and enjoyed the day. By our return mid-afternoon the wind had really picked up. The paddle back across Lower Pauness was very challenging. Back in camp we all enjoyed some time in the hammock’s, sitting on the shoreline, and generally relaxing. Some of the few positives of this campsite included nice afternoon shade and a shoreline with nice places to sit.
