My daughter and I have been doing a father and daughter BWCA trip for two years and we want to keep this going till at least she's 18. I have serious damage/injuries on both shoulders (torn labrum in one, tear and bone spur in another) which need surgeries and recovery. I don't want to let down my nine year old to miss this year. Is there a good campground/sites I can look into to keep our "BWCA" tradition alive? Two or three nights in June with some easy hiking and swimming would be good. Thank you! |

Sawbill Lake - USFS campground and outfitter at #38 Kawishiwi Lake - USFS campground at EP #37 Crescent Lake - USFS campground at edge of BWCA Temperance River - USFS campground at edge of BWCA Gunflint Trail area: Flour Lake - USFS campground at edge of BWCA Two Island Lake - USFS campground near BWCA How about a cabin at Rockwood on the Gunflint? They have a couple of smaller cabins if it's just the two of you. They have SUP's, canoes, and even motorized boats. |

Astrid Lake Trail Example of the glacial erratics along the trail, my buddy is 6'4" and dwarfed by this boulder View at one point along the Astrid Lake Trail Early morning view from the NE Astrid campsite. There are a couple small sand/gravel landings that would be great spots for a swim too. BTW, Crescent Lake campground is another favorite of mine. Beautiful BWCA quality lake, totally undeveloped and a small quiet campground. There are some excellent walk in campsites if you are up to that that are a short distance from the car which offer seclusion on the lake with no vehicle traffic. Gorgeous spots. Good luck, hope you find what you are looking for and have a great trip. |

I really appreciate each of you giving me ideas. Its possible ill have to do this two summers in a row so likely will be staying 3 or 4 places as mentioned above, or at least one night of stay on shore before small canoe trip to start off next year to get back into it. Thanks again all! |
