East Galipo to Little Canoe

Anyone done this bushwhack recently? We are looking at it as part of our spring trip. Wondering what the off-road parts are like. And what the road parts are like too I guess.

Re: East Galipo to Little Canoe

Did it in 2023. Going in that direction it's pretty simple.There is a bit of a hill to contend with coming out of East Galipo. Hang a right on the road. It's a decent condition pretty flat logging road. Take your 2nd left towards Little Canoe. When you see little Canoe follow a fainter old logging road towards the lake until it peters out. Or just bushwhack. It's downhill and hardwood, so just walk towards the big blue blob. I imagine it could be trickier going the other way. 

On that same trip we bushwhacked from Pen, to Chantigus and Smedleyco/Smedleyco Creek to the Galipo River between Harry and Welcome. That was an interesting detour!

Re: East Galipo to Little Canoe

in 2022 we did this portage coming from Little Canoe. It was all good until we missed the turn off to East Galipo... very obvious spot in hindsight... made for quite the day. 

portage is actually not bad if no detours are encountered haha
