Angleworm EP20-Sunday Lake-Crooked-Horse-Angleworm exit(via Trease) Really challenging portages, Sundial Lake PMA, Curtain Falls, can't miss it), Pictographs on Crooked, maybe Basswood Falls if you have time. Kawishiwi EP37-Malberg-Raven-Fishdance/River-Kawishiwi exit. Beaver Dams on Kawishiwi River, Pagami Creek Fire, Mugwump Lake PMA, Pictographs on Fishdance, high probability of Moose sightings. Ham (Cross Bay EP50)-Long Island/Frost-Bologna/Afton/Mora-Tuscarora-Round exit. The legendary Frost River and you get just a glimpse of the Cavity Lake and Ham Lake Fires. LIS North EP14-Fat/Eugene via Slim-Fat portage-LLC-Oyster-LIS exit. Rugged area, Pictographs on LLC if you make it there, tons of trout to be had. Lots of options here to explore, I'd actually rather spend a week in this area myself and check out the Sioux-Hustler Trail, Takucmich AND Gebe as well as a few of the little creeks (Hustler River, Pocket/Gebe Creek). If I had two vehicles I would park one at Stuart EP19 or Moose EP16 and exit accordingly. |

Temperance River Loop: 23 miles, 12 lakes, 1 river, 3 creeks, 14 portages. Challenging terrain. Will cross the Laurentian Divide twice, this is the north-south continental divide. The water north of the divide flows to the Arctic Ocean, the water south of the divide flows to the Atlantic Ocean. Day 1: Sawbill to Ada Creek, Ada Lake, Skoop Creek, Skoop Lake, Cherokee Lake. Day 2: Cherokee Lake to Sitka Lake, North Temperance Lake, South Temperance Lake, Temperance River, Weird Lake, Jack Lake. Day 3: Jack Lake to Kelly Lake, Burnt Lake, Smoke Lake, ending at Sawbill Lake. |

My friends and I are experienced BWCA canoers and are looking for a challenging 4-day route. Preferably a loop of some sort. Any help appreciated. Shooting for late August. |
