Moose River to Entry #16
Portage Description: One thing to notice that is unique in the BWCA (at least as far as I know) is that this trail preexisted the forest. Several years ago a fire completely burned out the area. But the trail continued to be used as the forest regenerated (mostly birch and aspen now). The trail became arrow-straight over most of it's length, and no trees grew within a couple of feet of either side due to periodic trail maintenance and foot traffic compacting the soil. The result is that the trail gives the impression of walking down a lane with intentionally planted trees bordering either side. Kinda freaky after doing "natural" winding portages!
