Swan Lake Canoe Trails


This is where we went this past weekend! We took off with our 80lb. canoe, loaded down with supplies for 2.5 days from the west entrance. We traveled down to the fork on Spruce Lake on Friday night. We took off the next morning, early as the sun is up over 18 hours, and traveled through the upper loop through Swan lake, and down to Loon Lake. We stopped at the island and camped for the 2nd night. Sunday morning we headed home, but not before taking some extra time to fish and nap! We had an amazing time!! We traveled through 15 different lakes, 5 twice, and portaged for 5 miles - 3 times as we had two loads! We took our "real" camera as our digital only holds battery power for about an hour! We hope to get more photos to you as soon as we can!! I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with my personal ability to make it that far!! Oh, yeah, that photo is not of us!!! Our big red/orange canoe will be obvious!
