Larch Creek to Clove Lake. 2 canoes, 4 people. Larch Creek Entry point is not for the faint of heart. 9 total beaver dams that must be traversed. The first 2/3 of the creek from West to East is very narrow and murky. All of the beaver dams are in the first 1/2 to 2/3 of the creek. The remaining portion of the creek widened and was very beautiful and quiet to travel. Once Larch creek meets Larch Lake, there is about 100-150 yards of very thick bog that makes for difficult traveling in the canoe especially at the end of the year where the water levels have gone down. Not many recent reports on the condition of the creek entry point up to the point we entered. Larch Lake is rather murky and likely pretty shallow. One camper staying at the Northwest campsite as we entered. We paddled to the Larch-Clove portage which was rather easy. An immediate difference was noted in water quality and clarity and we stayed at site # which was the Northern most beach campsite - incredible site! We were not looking forward to going back through the bog on Larch lake into Larch creek but made easy work of the beaver dams after the initial practice on our entry day. Would stay out here again as the entry point probably deters the amateur travelers. ~Larch Lake, Clove Lake
