We have a winner!


I knew that clue about Tom's canoe color was too revealing.

I'll give it a wild guess: Sark

Evening from camp, looking NNW. There are three portages leading to/from this lake.

A few more campsite photos are below.

If you want to exit Quetico Park from this lake, one portage plus a paddle will get you to an entry point. Interestingly, two other EPs are closer than that exit, but they require a second portage, and for one of those, also a little more paddling outside the park proper.

A couple campsite photos - Cerberus is sleeping on, not in, her pup tent. It was hot...


Cerberus & I were camped on the mainland, but there are three islands on this lake with campsites.

Wherever it is, looks like heaven.


Minn’s my guess

Let's review old intel:
Three Portages in/out
Three Islands with Campsites
Lake to EP with one portage + paddle
Lake to second EP one portage + paddle + portage
Lake to third EP one portage + paddle + portage + paddle outside park
Tom is camped on one of the three islands enjoying scotch


New clues/intel:
1) Photos are from last July, so not in a burn area
2) Smaller lake
3) This lake has one of the highest campsite-to-surface area ratios in the park. Many lakes this small have 0-2 campsites, while this has more than a handful.
4) Tom's canoe is Red

Tom is DQ'd from guessing.


At the moment this photo was taken, he is camped on the island in the distance that the hammock points to, enjoying a scotch.


On the other hand, if you had enough scotch, perhaps this is all new to you.

We're back in Quetico - apologies...I just travel more in the north-of-the-border paddling destinations than in the BW.

Two shots of this lake to start, the first looking a hair west of due north:


The second shot has us looking ESE.


Both are taken from the water, not from land.
