Awesome report! Sounds like a great trip! I can't wait to head back to the BWCAW in a few weeks.

Great report! Thanks for sharing. In 2 weeks I'm going w/ my 7yo on our daddy/daughter trip. Can't wait. There's definitely something magical about tripping with our kids.


PS We still need to get together for some coffee man!

Great report! Good to hear it went well.


So...would you suggest the portage like you did or running the rapids? Was that at a marked portage or a "new" one?

Wonderful report. I'm taking my daughter on her first trip this year. Hopefully it turns into an annual event like yours.

The "new" portage is non-negotiable. It is at the sharp bend in the river where the current is fast and a some fallen trees pretty much seal the deal. You will have to portage that. There is one "mystery" portage others will recall that has been closed with a sign to direct you to stay on the water--an easy float on your way in, less easy on your way out but you have no choice and it is doable.


On the other two short portages prior to Nina Moose, I would portage and not run the rapids (unless you want to provide entertaining sounds for portaging partners). Good luck!

Yes! I will try to add them tomorrow when I get to my work computer. It was a wonderful time.
