It was my first time in this area of the park and I decided to do a quick there-and-back to Shirley Lake for 3 days, with a day trip into Ryan Lake during my rest day.
Just got back from Shirley with my family. My 3 and 5 year olds nailed the Portage trail better than the teenagers I used to bring back in there as part of an outdoor ed crew.
The sites at the north end of the lake offer awesome solitude.
