quote jcavenagh: "There's 2 campsites on Upper Hatchet." Thanks! Guessing they are at the north/northeast end of the lake. We didn't see any from the portage south. We scanned that southwest bay with binoculars from about the Viking air cabin but nothing was visible. Next time we'll turn north! |

I paddled from Artery up the bloodvien then turned south down to Dunstan. I found the bloodvien rather a blah river to paddle. except for the nice stands of birch, and the moose I saw. it was low water when I did it and not much current, well you can tell you are paddling against the current, but it was not bad at all. The route from the Bloodvien down to Simeons and Dunstan and down to Royd was OUTSTANDING!!!! SunCatcher |

quote jcavenagh: "Upper Hatchet Campsites: Marten and Jcavenaugh - thanks. We ate lunch at the first campsite on Upper Hatchet after we paddled away from the portage. We crossed the lake to the second but the little island was loaded with seagulls (?) however right behind on that eastern shore was a campsite a bit of climb off the water and boulder/rock garden takeout. We stopped but the site was in pretty rough shape. Someone had abandoned a shredded tent, tent-poles and all! Looks like it had a burn hole in one of the sides. Can only guess what the story was behind that. I'll look for the Hatchet site on next year's trip. Good to know. Thanks to you both for sharing the info. Hope it also helps danjb too! |

Harlan is the best source for planning your trip with your needs. Since some 60 year olds put my fitness to shame, some look ready to drop if there is a stiff breeze. As a 45 yr old of "Average" condition, I found the loop from Leano to MH to South Aegean and through Paull to be not overly strenuous, but it easily could have been in the right (wrong) conditions. I'm still processing the whole trip 3 months later. |
