Looking at a route through Brant then west to Gabi but worried about finding spots to hang a hammock. Has anyone been through there recently and willing to share thoughts on hammock hanging options? Thanks! |

Photo from an island site on Gabi. If you haven't seen them already??? Here's a couple of trip reports where we penetrated that area. Maybe they'll give you some perspective. First fish & a walking stick Beaches, flowers & storms |

I remember there being some pines up in West Fern and Powell Lakes. They grow a little faster so maybe? But I wouldn't count on them. |

In August, 2023, we paddled from Brandt through Flying and Green to Bat. We tented on Bat at the western-most site (north shore) and enjoyed it but could not find a tree to hang a food barrel. We weren't looking specifically for hammock opportunities but I'm thinking it would be tough. From Gillis, we took the north route to Gabi through French to Peter. I thought Peter was a great looking lake and is recovering nicely but would probably be spotty at best for good hanging. Have a great 2024 paddle season! |

TB - I had seen one of those reports, the one during your move to the north woods, and both were helpful. From your photos, I was able to find a few more sites that'll work for a hammock which is what I was hoping for. Cowdoc and Kawnipi - that's helpful to know, especially since your perspective is recent. I do hope to do through Peter and French to Gabi and your feedback gives me some ideas about how to plan my days. Worst case, I get to spend a night on the ground with my hammock stuff, not the end of the world. Again, thank you very much! |
