Table rock is just north of the pictos where the river widens into Wednesday Bay and turns SW. Cool historic spot that you'll be going by anyway. I think your solitude will be greatest on Crooked between Friday Bay and curtain falls. That is until you start heading toward Stuart which will probably be the quietest area. |

Hi All, I'm planning on 9 days solo for this route. In comparing with what I've done on prior trips, this seems very doable for me, but I'm primarily wondering: > What scenic points should I be aware of nearby? Pictos, cliffs, falls, etc. I'm aware of Basswood Falls, Basswood river pictos, Curtain Falls. What else? > Are any of the rivers I'm on going to be too shallow 9/21 - 9/29? (not worried about pullovers on Moosecamp) > What parts can I expect the most/least solitude? > Let me know your overall thoughts of the route. I just need to put in at 23 and out at 19. Everything else is flexible (the zigzags are to add mileage/scenery). The only thing on my "must-do" is Curtain Falls. |

And I'm struggling a little to see route on map but I think you have enough time to poke into LLC. I like the Bottle River and that SE wing of LLC. Portage distance looks high or is that the application accounting for double portage - triple the portage length? |
