I am considering heading up north for Nov 4th weekend as a last hurrah of the paddling season. I will be going solo (experienced paddler) and know it will be cold and the possibility of ice is there. Last year I went solo into South Hegman on that weekend and that was open, but North Hegman was already iced over so I just laid low there and fought the wind and cold rain. Anywho- any recommendations for a good place to solo paddle and camp for that weekend? I would only want to go in a lake or two, knowing that the weather may be an issue. Does not necessarily have to be BWCA but just looking for a nice place for a few days and assuming I will not see many, if any, folks. Open to any recommendations, thanks! |

Last year, November 1 was the last day for my wife and me, but we have paddled Brule on Thanksgiving Day--an exceptionally warm fall. These trips have become a yearly tradition. The lake will make you humble with the waves, cold winds, and the sense of winter coming, but the journey is a grand way to finish the paddling season. |

I’m hoping to get up there again this year for a late solo and Hegman is most likely my destination. Last year I basically made my final decision of Slim over Hegman during the drive up. |
