THAT is a very good clue.

It is the island site on Linda, if I'm not mistaken.

 


100% the island site. Great spot. We portaged in from Burnt Island. The alder /iris portage was brutal. Not sure if would be better in drier conditions but it was tough to say the least.  You're  up Ian.

At 51 years old I still trip with guys from scouts almost annually . I canoe tripped  with one this past weekend. We've evolved from Canoe to ATV Crownland trips as a group now as one guy has some mobility/health issues however we're still getting out there. That's what it's all about. The 4 of us were awarded Chief Scout in 1988 and have enjoyed many trips since then. We lost touch somewhat for years and reconnected in 2010 for a canoe trip and have kept that going through today.  Keep doing what you do. The youth of today depend on it. Cheers!

I'm glad I found this thread.  I was just thinking about bikepacking from brent to Radiant, towing a canoe on a canoe cart.

So with all the back and forth on you kinda can kinda shouldn't use the rail bad...  are we allowed to or not?

 

Solo Lesta You're  Alive!!!! Great to hear from you. I've  been wondering what you've  been up to.

General concensus is no,  not legal. That said ,people are doing it but definitely  at your own risk and not advisable.  A few youtube videos online of it.

We did Sunday Creek to Norway Lake mid October in 2024, no issues whatsoever. If memory servers there was only one beaver dam (maybe 2) and we slammed over it on the way in, and lifted over on the way out.

Quiet little group of lakes on a very busy fall weekend was what we were after, and it worked out perfectly. 
Got full cell coverage (handy but also annoying), and we could here the larger trucks on HWY 60 at times throughout the night.

Sounds great. Thanks for your input  Evan. Cheers!

I know late season water levels are low in Sunday Creek to Fork Lake.  Generally is it somewhat navigable or don't even  bother??

Wozzers! Fantastic photograph Shayne! 
 

Thanks. That was actually a great trip all around.  September 2020. Nice reprieve during pandemic. 

I'll have some new photos next week so for now the floor is open to anyone wishing to take it.  

Cheers!

I'm pretty sure caching boats within the park is not allowed . All I've really read anything about.  Unless you're Frank Kuiack.LOL!  Food/gear I feel is fine. Out of sight of main trail and hung/cached appropriately. I see nothing wrong with it.  I've seen pre set outfitter camps  occupying some of the best sites on the lake . That is a whole other issue all together though.
