Mainly wondering if it's worth the extra paddling, from what I recall that area seemed pretty burned/bare. I read that there are some pictos up there but that they're very hard to see.
PINETREE	04/08/2011 08:50AM   Ran into a older couple that every year camped at the entrance to the east arm. They loved that area. I don't think to many people go to the end. I do know a few people who have caught fish down there.

Ho Ho	04/05/2011 10:14PM   Sorry, I don't have any information, but I have to think that if it is a dead end - then it's definitely worth exploring. Thanks for the idea, I'll want to do it on our next Agnes trip.

Thanks for the idea, I'll want to do it on our next Agnes trip." I've often stared at that area on the map and thought to myself "I'll bet nobody ever goes there". It's on my list also. It reminds me of the east channel on Alice (BW) where my brother and I sat and yanked up walleyes and smallmouth for a couple of days...never seeing another canoe.

We were thinking the same thing, and I'm intrigued by the areas most people just paddle by because they're out of the way.
