TeamGB: "dustytrail: "... Second I drive to the entry point and it is easy to get a ride back to Snowbank."Could you please elaborate on this: I plan a loop from Snowbank to Lake One exit and feel confused with best options for car parking." I leave the truck at Snowbank with the ideal to walk back from Lake One. I have done this several times and have never walked it yet. There has always been a kind sole leaving Lake One that offered me ride. FYI I run 5-7 miles four days a week so the walk back would be just another run for me. |

I guess my question is if we did the 1-2-1 approximately where do we need to be camping at to accomplish this? Would it just be easier to break camp every day and go that route? Thanks. |

If there is a downside, it's that the lakes on the route are all popular, so it's not a secluded trip unless you make it early or late in the year. On the other hand I've always been able to find a campsite, though sometimes it takes a little searching. Great trip! Enjoy! |

We had to go through six portages and it was an exhausting day. We stayed at site 1201 on Jordan lake for two nights. The fishing was not very good, but the site was lovely. Next, we headed to Ima Lake where we stayed at site 1195. The next day we headed to Fraser Lake Site 1395. We fished off the islands in front of the campsite and hit walleye. Sadly our stringer broke away from our canoe. Luckily, within 15 minutes we had three new walleye. Look for the drop off around the islands and fish on a windy day. Next, we headed to Alice lake. We found a spot with a beautiful beach front and I felt like I was in the Bahamas. Site 1167. West view. There was a horrible storm during the middle of the night. Very, very, very windy. The next day, we headed to Insula. Alice Lake was very windy, but we quartered the waves. We spent the night on Insula site 1332. Beach site. The view was of the burn area. Caught fish. Next, we headed to Lake Two where we got lost. We were warned that it was tricky to navigate. An adventure. We stayed on Lake 2 Site 1530. Caught fish. The next day, we exited at Lake One. This was an eleven night trip. Hope this helps! The site numbers are from the PP site. |
