Trip Introduction:
This was the first time for my 2 boys and my good friend David, and his 2 boys. I've been on this trip many times as it is a great route for first timers as the portages are not strenuous (except a bit for the portage from Kawasachong to Lake Polly). The slithering through the river is nice and easy with a few beaver dams to break up the paddling. Lake Polly has very nice sites for camping.

A great 4 day trip into Lake Polly. This, to me, is a great place for newbies since the paddling is not strenuous. The lazy river connecting Kawishiwi Lake with Kawasachong is a nice easy paddle through beaver dams and some lily pads. The pads are clear of the path so you do not have to PUSH through the river. Lake Polly has some very nice sites on it with some cliff jumping on the north side of Lake Polly (make sure to check the water depth as one year the water was low and thus we could touch bottom on the jump).
