This spot is very doable within a day from an access point.

Tim River between Longbow and Queer?

This is not on the Tim

Gosh, I've got 3 spots in my brain and I'm trying to narrow it down...

Potter Creek...?

North of all guesses. If you're looking at this on day one you've probably just completed your second portage standing on the portage landing, or you're starting your third portage and looking back from where you came from.

This was going to be my second guess.

It is not Maple Creek.
This body of water is definitely labeled a river by the magnificent Maps by Jeff.

Crow River below lake lavielle?

**Posted by shaggy** 4/08/2025 1:39 pm

It is not the Crow River below Lavielle, nor any part of the Crow River.

Hints:
It is a river

The photographed scene is within two or three short to mid-length portages away from two access points depending on which direction you've traveled. I remember thinking "where do I go now?" when I reached it.

It's farther north than all guesses so far.

Rubbish hint based on nothing but feelings:
I'd consider the photographed scene part of the "middle" section of this particular river, and it somehow feels less traveled than earlier _and_ later sections of the same river!

Amable du Fond?

North River it is!
The photo is the view achieved after completing the 650m carry over from Allan Lake looking east towards the 1290m. The North River from Allan to Radiant feels very well traveled, but the section between North River Lake and Allan Lake felt beautifully remote despite being two portages from Wendigo access.
