I am sitting here chuckling and am delighted. Nice to have options. One thing I do know is that I expect to be eating walleye somewhere in that vicinity on the 21st of July. Thanks!

Walleye fishing is really good on amber also, we stayed at the eastern campsite and caught all the walleye we could eat within 200 yards of camp

Our route this summer takes us up the Kawishiwi. Itinerary puts us looking for a site near River Lake. There is a marked waterway between Amber Lake and the Kawishiwi. Does anyone know is this is navigable? Thanks!

Nice area. We were there this time of year a few years back. Expect to walk through ankle plus water in the middle of the portage NW out of Malberg to River Lake.

When the water is high enough. We went in late September and had to maneuver through a bunch of rock/boulder stuff.

I thought river lake was very pretty. I was overcome with a sense of peace while paddling thru, and also felt I was being watched over... not just watched.

Yes, it was navigable when I did it several years ago. There are 2 sites on Amber.

We were there in mid July and it was easily navigable. The eastern site on amber is a gem with an really nice sand beach. BTW the southern site on the island on River Lake just north of Amber is a great site too and close to some really good walleye fishing.

We were thinking about the island site. I had lunch there several years ago and would like to camp there. That is actually the planned site but if taken then Amber would be the backup. I did not know about the walleye on the point so.... Thanks!
