Just got back from ice fishing Oak Island area in the Angle.  Spent a few hours snowmobiling to Kenora and back via Tug Narrows/French Portage Narrows/finally on to the North lake.  Was struck by the natural beauty of the North lake and the "ga-zillions" of islands.  It was my first time back there in over 20 years.  I instantly thought of returning in the summer to paddle them.

My questions
--have any of you paddled the islands there?
--harassed by motorized vessels?
--I've heard the "native" situation can be a little rough if one finds themselves paddleing into the wrong area?  Any truth to that?

Have any of you paddled out of Nestor Falls, Soiux Narrows, or Kenora?

Thanks
