WE WILL ARRIVE ABOUT 5:30 AM AT OUR OUTFITTERS AT THE END OF THE GUNFLINT TRAIL ON JULY 7. WE WILL CATCH SOME SLEEP UNTIL 6:30 AM AND BY 7:00 AM WE WILL BE HEADED BY BOAT TO HOOK ISLAND. WE WILL PUT THE CANOES IN THE WATER, LOAD OUR GEAR AND START PADDELING TO THE RANGER STATION AND THEN TO SILVER FALLS. I LIKE TO GO THE FIRST WEEKEND AFTER THE 4TH OF JULY. IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS LESS PEOPLE. WE USE AN OUTFITTER ONLY FOR A TOW TO HOOK ISLAND. WE BASE CAMP ON AN ISLAND ABOUT 3/4 TO 1 MILE PAST SILVER FALLS PORTAGE. WE SPEND THE WEEK PADDELING AROUND THE LAKE, FISHING, SWIMMING AND RELAXING UNTIL FRIDAY WHEN WE HEAD HOME.

MUSKRAT , YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY AND A GREAT CAMPING TRIP ON THE GUNFLINT THIS SUMMER.
