Brule Lake is one of the largest lakes in the Boundary Waters that does not allow any motorboats and its direct access makes it a great option for quick weekend trip, or for those looking to introduce kids or first timers to the wilderness experience. As soon as you paddle away from the boat launch you are in the BWCA and you could be set up in a campsite within 30 minutes if you really wanted.

Its an express episode on the Frost River this week! Frost Lake is in the heart of the BWCA and few people venture this far in. Frost River itself can be a challenge because of the number of turns and you definitely want to keep your map out at all times on the river. Due to the remoteness of the area and the lack of paddlers who venture in this far the distance between campsites is great.  Route Map Entry Points: #50-Cross Bay or #51-Missing Link Subscribe: Patreon Spotify iTunes YouTube Stitcher Google Play Soundcloud Twitter Contact: The Answering Machine: (218) 481-0649 Facebook tumblehomecast@gmail.com

This is a great route for those wanting to cover some ground and paddle smaller lakes. Smaller lakes give more protection with wind. You’ll enjoy some river paddling south of Ham Lake and have some good wildlife opportunities. This route can be traveled in either direction, although with predominant winds from the west you may want to start at Cross Bay Lake.

The 13-mile stretch of river and lakes between Gunflint and Saganaga Lakes is known as the Granite River route and is one of the most unique in the area. Along with the Frost River route this is the only other river base canoe route on the Gunflint Trail. It’s waters flow north out of Gunflint Lake and the first part is the most intense with multiple portages around raging waterfalls and rapids.

If your idea of a great time is fishing in the morning, fishing in the afternoon, and fishing in the evening this is the route for you. It is one of the better Walleye and Pike fishing areas on the trail. Heading even further in will reward you with better wildlife options since most of the terrain is flat and has some marshland, which is favored by animals like moose.

It’s the first episode in our Route Guide Series! The lakes on this route are very popular with base campers. They are small and loaded with fish. Walleye, Bass and Northern Pike are plentiful with some of the side lakes offering Lake Trout as well. A trip to Johnson Falls should not be missed whilst spending time in this area. You can take this route and return to Bearskin for pick-up or paddle right back to Clearwater Lodge.
