Welcome to the site and this community of paddlers as well! I will be up in that area around those times. I'll post here when the time gets near. A fair number of my trips go up to QPP from there but I also do a couple BW trips as my work allows.

I use a Bell Northwind Solo for these trips but I also have a SR 17 for group trips.

This site is a wealth of information. Enjoy digging around!

Of course I forgot something ... My schedule is now Ely from June 19 to November 1st.... and I am still looking to spend as much time on the water as possible.

After a bit of a hiatus I am back. Much thanks for the info and the PMs about paddling. I am sending a PM to those that have contacted me in a couple of minutes. The planning for 2018 begins ....

QJ is a fantastic place to ask all kinds of questions about trips, partners, etc. But ... if you're a Facebook user, you might check out the page titled "BWCA Trip Partners." I don't know if it has, or will, get anyone together, but I maintain it just in case. And if I'm ever looking for a partner (the truth comes out at last).

When you're in Ely, the Piragis guys will let you test paddle anything they have 'on the lot' - a good opportunity to compare boats. If you pass through Madison, WI, the good folks at Rutabaga will do the same. Both are close enough to paddling water. pd

I agree with ST's advice. Also, highly recommend you actually "test-drive" before buying. I didn't do that but got lucky. While there are certain aspects re: handling my Prism that I need to exercise care on, I was very pleasantly surprised how well it does "upwind." Research hadn't told me that, either way. Jimbo

Quote: Been researching solo canoes also. Don't overlook checking out small tandems you can solo too. If you can have just one canoe and you might want to bring a friend, a 16' tandem will do double duty. Not as fast as a true solo, but the tradeoff in stability and load capacity might be worth it for you?

Thanks Portage Dog. Been researching solo canoes also.

Welcome aboard Outlander. I like your bio...nice comments. I think you'll find a good bunch of friendly and like minded folks here and probably some opportunities for trips. Best of luck and contribute what/where you can as most folks do. pd
