PaddleBoi	05/20/2025 06:33AM   I found your knife. I'm NW TC metro let me know how you want me to get it to you.
OMGitsKa	06/03/2025 06:45AM   I know this is a long shot but I lost my GoPro in Quetico last week. Either on the 49 rod portage from Iron lake to Mcree or on the Island portage above Rebecca falls. Have some great memories on there and would love to have them to share for years. If anyone has found it please send me a DM. FOUND! WOOHOOO!!!!
danielpauly	05/30/2025 07:54AM   Found a fishing a pair of fishing rod cases on portage at Virgin to Peter Lake portage. One grey, one white, taped together. Text me if you're missing it. Just send info on one of the rods. 612-325-1237.
staum314	05/30/2025 08:22AM   We placed a trail cam at out campsite on to catch any night time wildlife and forgot it! First campsite on Ima across the bay from the Jordan Portage.
lazysmitty	06/20/2025 11:23AM   Lost a dark green 24oz Grayl water bottle. On the 16th on 2nd portage through Horse River. I went down with low blood sugar, group didn’t realize I left it behind.
Coupe68GT390	06/18/2025 09:35PM   Lost: Lime green Snap On micro torch left on the third campsite up on the eastern side of Agnes in BWCA from the creek entrance on the southern end. Most likely on the ground near the firepit. Sit it down to load gear in tackle backpack and pretty sure it is still sitting there. This is what it looks like...
psheehan78	06/19/2025 09:48AM   Lost: I lost my new iPhone 16 pro on a Horseshoe Lake campsite last weekend (6/15/25). Lake site #2, Campsite #673 (the big site). Just north of the fire grate, there are 2 large trees that span across the trail leading down to a canoe landing. I had a hammock set up there and I’m almost positive my phone must be in the bushes below where the hammock was set up. It’s over a hill so it could’ve possibly rolled down the hill a bit. That’s the only place I can think of where we wouldn’t have seen it on our departure sweep. My friend also lost his wedding ring at the same site. No idea where that could be but his tent was in the main clearing right off the path to the latrine. If anyone finds either let me know! I’m sure we could figure out a reward!$ Pat (612) 310-0544
noodle	06/06/2025 01:11PM   Found a old gold watch at campsite #23 at the north end of Little Loon on Saturday 5/31. We turned it into the Kawishiwi Ranger Station when we came out this past Wednesday. It was no longer running and the date on it was Tue 16, so assuming that was set correctly, the last Tuesday the 16th was in July 2024 so it may have been lost a very long time.
BWCA	01/10/2025 08:47PM   Did you find or lose something during the 2025 season? Please use this thread to post it. You can also check with outfitters near your entry/exit point. Take a look through the 2024 Lost and Found Thread for last year.
Dreamer	06/05/2025 08:56AM   Lost Motorola phone on site 1498, Lake 4. I've got a new phone now, but I want the pictures that are on it from my trip!
ryanbearek	06/05/2025 01:31PM   Lost: green and black disposable camera in the Williams & Hall Outfitters dirt driveway. it fell off the roof of the car at around 1:00pm Wednesday, June 4th. It has about 3 pictures left on it. Somebody working at the outfitter mentioned seeing it but didn't grab it, when I went back for it it was gone. I'd love to get the pictures of my first trip back. Appreciate any help. picture of the camera posted below if the link worked.
bcoffing	06/16/2025 02:58PM   I lost a black iphone somewhere on our trip around Clear Lake or the Kawishiwi River, maybe on the 140 rod or the 210 rod portages doing the loop/triangle. We started in Lake 1. Phone has a picure of a baby in a carseat with "good looks courtesy of mom) on his shirt. If anyone finds it, my cell is 720-556-5612. Thanks!
CarpWrangler	06/16/2025 03:34PM   To clarify, the clear dry bag at Indian Portage between Birch and Sucker/Newfound, has "Walker #2" on it, and may have my phone number on it, will pay to get it sent back to me! Thanks folks, happy paddling! Appreciate the site and contributors.
bombinbrian	05/30/2025 10:17AM   I just got back and found two complete rods and reels and some fishing pliers on two different portages. If you can tell me where and what they are I will get them back to you
Tuscarora Outfitters	05/31/2025 11:04AM   Lost: Pack with 3 bear vaults in it. Likely on the portage from Alpine to Seagull. If you find it, give Tuscarora a call. 218-388-2221
LynnOK	06/12/2025 09:51PM   Where in Quetico? Reason I ask is this message I'm reposting from someone on FB about Reis Grams camo tacklebox. (Reis Grams and another person lost their lives on near Crooked Lake Falls last year). Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA) Chrissie Schifsky · · Good evening! I have a huge ask for this community with hopes of a good outcome. We were portaging from Boulder bay into Agnes and left behind a camouflage tackle box about the size of a rectangle Kleenex box. This isn’t just any tackle box but it is Reis Grams tackle box who we lost in the curtain falls accident up there last year. We are hoping someone will come across it and turn it into an outfitter or contact me directly so we can get it back. Please message me directly if you have any info. We would love to reunite it with the family ??
GoingDownThePortageFeelingBad	06/08/2025 01:41PM   Found a tall Nalgene water bottle with stickers on it at a campsite on Ima Lake on Friday 6/6
Wapiti	06/09/2025 09:04PM   Lost: Kuiu Rain Gear Left near the information sign by the river at Mudro Sunday June 8th. It was drying out on the rocks across from the sign. If anyone has found it, please message me. Thank you
straighthairedcurly	06/14/2025 09:45PM   LOST: small black zipper bag and hardsided black case containing a Versa Flow water filter and 2 Cnoc bags. The 2 containers should be clipped together. Lost on Daniels Lake. I believe they were staying at the northern most campsite. Apparently, I shouldn't lend my gear to anyone, including my own husband. Really hoping I get these back :(
sns	06/13/2025 02:21PM   LynnOK: "Where in Quetico?" I assume you are asking me - the one I found is clear plastic, not camo...unlikely to be the same one - and was not found on Iron or Crooked. Hope that one gets tracked down.
Snorty	05/13/2025 08:18AM   It was Sept 25th of 2021 and I was at portage 420 which is the 7 rod portage between Sucker and Birch. I was waiting for a tow from one of the outfitters and I pulled out my Helinox sunset chair to sit in while I waited. The wind was up and things got crazy while trying to keep the tow boat off the rocks while my gear got loaded up. Unfortunately my blue/black Helinox sunset was left behind. I know it’s been years since this happened but it would be really great to possibly run across the folks that found my chair. Thank you
Mapmaker	05/21/2025 08:55AM   PaddleBoi: "I found your knife. I'm NW TC metro let me know how you want me to get it to you." Sent an email, THANKS!!!
BWCA	05/26/2025 05:59PM   Phone reported found on campsite 1315 on Basswood. It was submerged 4 feet down offshore. Posted in Facebook group
sns	06/24/2025 12:23PM   This one is a long shot. Lost, likely in the water...a men's gold wedding band, McAree lake in Quetico. One of the guys on my trip lost his; he thinks it came off while swimming. Yea, almost not even worth mentioning, but it could be in shallow water close to the canoe landing. Anyway, on the off chance someone finds it, I can connect you to him as he's not on this board.
Mapmaker	05/17/2025 02:06PM   Lost: silver 4" folding knife. Missed zipping a pocket and it fell out between the end of the first portage east of Trail Lake and Dent Lake Tuesday (5/13). Almost certainly at one of the portage entry/exits. I know it's a long shot as there's not much traffic up there!
PointMe2Polaris	06/22/2025 08:33PM   LOST: Was also on same trip with previous post "LazySmitty". We went in at Mudro and traveled to Crooked via Horse River route. Our group lost a few items in total, which are: 1. The green grayl mentioned in the previous post. 2. A pair of Oakley Sunglasses with a white/black lanyard attached to it. 3. A wallet, with the drivers license belonging to Mathew. Thank you! Darin
CarpWrangler	06/16/2025 01:37PM   My son left a clear 10L dry bag with his medication, 2-15 ft NRS straps, and miscellaneous items just north of the west side of the Indian portage yesterday, May 15 about 12 pm. He took a short trail north off the main portage to fish the bay on the west side of the portage. Thanks in advance!
sns	06/01/2025 05:41PM   Found - tackle box, last week. In Quetico. Might have been there overwinter...or maybe just a day. Tell me where you lost it and what's in it and I will get it back to you.
paddlefamily	05/27/2025 04:53PM   FOUND: I found an iPhone by Lower Basswood Falls on the portage/campsite on Sunday, May 25. I turned it into Kawishiwi Ranger Station in Ely. Posted to the Facebook group as well.
