But you'll be on some very popular (even motors at the very start/end) and and some very remote sections and anything in between. Sounds like a great route, especially if everyone has some tripping experience already. If you've got a lot of newbies....maybe a little aggressive but you know your group. |

It runs Fall Lake, Newton, Pipestone, Basswood Lake, the Basswood River up along the Canadian border along Crooked Lake & Iron. Then returning via Beartrap River to Beartrap Lake, Thunder Gull, Gun, Fairy, Boot, Fourtown, Mudrow, Sandpit, Jackfish, Pipestone, Newton and Fall Lake. |

We entered on Mudro, Sandpit, Tin Can Mike, Horse, Horse river, Basswood, Crooked, Wednesday bay, Thursday bay, Friday bay, Saturday bay, Sunday bay, Iron, Peterson bay, Beartrap river, Sunday, Beartrap, Thunder, Mudhole, Gull, Gun, Fairy, Boot, Fourtown, and exited on Mudro. I am 65 and he is 71. We single portaged and traveled about 6 hours a day. Low water conditions were an issue. The portages on the Beartrap river were well traveled and easy to negotiate. However, traveling the Beartrap river in low water conditions is hazardous. The river bed was knee to waist deep sucking mud in areas. John |

As you may know most of the Beartrap River between a Iron and Beartrap Lake is in a PMA. You can pass through/explore the PMAs on a day trip without a permit but can’t spend the night without a date specific permit. This permit is in addition to the Entry Point permit. Also, I take it your group is 9 or less and you are aware of the regulations on group size. See day three |
