A favorite site of our is #1457 on SAK. Big and grassy and flat for tents with a nice rock beach for swimming and parking the boats. It's a good base camp location for running around to lakes like Kek, Eddy, and Amoeber. Site #1464 on KL (my group calls it the "pooper with a view" site) is pretty nice. Sheltered bay and the latrine is right on top of an overlook. Site #2042 on SAK is on a large sandy area if you are looking to just chill and soak up the sun on a beach. Only downside is that it is right next to the Hansen portage. But it is not the most used portage so you might not have anyone pass that way. If you see a pair of canoes with Flying Moose (one kevlar and one dark green gel coat) that will be us! HA. Have a great trip. |

Cherry - Island and Cliff hiking Lake of the clouds route - unique Ester- clear AF PMA - East of Hanson Hike to the high point of campsite land in SAK Kek Ponds Knife sites : I have only camped at 5. Favorite: site just west of Eddy Falls. Not a great view. But it's a beautiful Cedar camp. |

1. Kekekabic Lake. There was a trail to top of hill on the south side of the lake that once had a fire tower there. I think the Kek Trail approaches from the other side of the hill. 2. Mueller Falls. Along the Kek Trail between Ogishkemuncie and Gabimichigami Lakes you will find Mueller Falls. Travel through Eddy, Jennie, and Annie Lakes to Ogishkemuncie. Then travel to Mueller Lake. Between Mueller and Agamok Lake the portage will cross the Kekakabic Trail. Head east about a quarter mile on the Kek Trail and you will find a bridge (iron works and everything) crossing a waterfalls that decends a long ways. There a paths (old portage?) along the waterway. There is a campsite for the Kek Trail here also. Bring a lunch and enjoy the outing before heading back. If you enjoy the Knife Lake area, I would encourage you to try getting to the Gabimichigami/Little Sag area. Nice vistas, recovering nicely from a burn 20 years ago. Some day trip options also. |

Would be great if folks could point out their favorite or overlooked spots/sites to help keep things fresh. We typically end up going through the Amoeber to Ottertrack route so especially looking for things on or just off NAK or SAK. Any help is greatly appreciated! Trip is in mid-august. |
