I have three nights. I was thinking Mudro to four town, fairy or gun and back to fourtown. Any other suggestions? Sawbill or gunflint would be fine too. |

When I went in Mudro a little earlier a few years ago, the most people were on Fourtown. I did not go to Horse (which I think is probably one of those "destination lakes"). I went up through Boot, Fairy, and Gun to Moosecamp. Except for Fourtown, I only saw a few people, but it was during the week. You can always check permit availability to see how many permits have been reserved around your date, but of course that could change. I think a lot of people take weekend trips in late Sept if the weather is nice. The weekend of my trip last fall was very nice weather. Basically, I agree with kanoes and Ho Ho that it won't be that busy then. Maybe on the weekend on Fourtown or Horse if it's really nice weather... Either of those entries could make a nice trip for you. |

I don't think it will be busy that late in the year, so it's a good time to go up there. I suggest doing a loop Mudro - Fourtown - Fairy -Gun - Bullet - Moosecamp - Moosecamp River- Fourtown - Mudro. I did this on a three night solo in June a couple years ago, camping the first two nights on Gull (Gun was full the day I got there). Plenty of time to explore but also a nice route. |

One factor too is I am going to buy a SR 18.5 from an outfitter in Ely this fall so I'm hoping I can pick it up after my trip. |
