Hey beaver

I've done the northeast part of IR with a canoe and it was beautiful, but I wouldn't do it again.
To paddle around Blake's point is suicide and the portage from Tobin harbor to Duncan bay is truly the most grueling portage I've ever experienced, it is 1 mile of switchback and staircase climbs.  :'(

On the other hand the interior lakes offer solitude and is very beautiful and also has great fishing. this is a route I will do again. I like to be dropped off at McCargoe cove and be picked up at Chippewa harbor.

Their is a time limit on most campsites of 2 to 3 day's.
