If someone wanted to camp on a lake in the BWCA that is not on a route but is connected by a stream, which may or may not be navigable, to a lake on a route. Confusing. Here is an example: EP47, Gore Lk. just east of Horseshoe and just south of the Caribou portage. Would you put in for a PMA permit? Treat it like any lake in the Superior NF? Go for it and take your chances?
Please remember this is HYPOTHETICAL!! I have no plans to do this, it's 11pm on Sunday nite and my brain comes up with a lot of stupid stuff.

My understanding; If you are within BWCAW boundaries, you are allowed to camp in designated campsites only.

Agree, except in designated PMAs you can camp anywhere.

Is Gore Lake in a PMA?

PMA permits are only issued for the specific PMA designated areas. Gore Lake is not part of a PMA. And since it also does not have any designated campsites, you would not be allowed to camp there.

+1 designated campsites, except PMA's"
Or you could go in winter, when you can go anywhere and they encourage you NOT to camp in designated campsites.
