NC_Paddler,

I suspect the $12 map is the "overall" park map that I bought a couple years ago at that price & not the sectional navigational/canoe route maps that I'm seeking.  I certainly could be wrong about that since I haven't called the park office yet.  Sounds like you've been there, done that, so I appreciate the contact info & I'll check out the source.

I spoke directly to the WCPP Supt at the past two CanoeCopias & asked him about "canoe routing maps".  He shook his head & pointed me over to Albert's booth (ie. Goldseekers).  He told me the outfitters were the best source.  From that, I inferred (at least at that time) that he & the park weren't selling the canoe route maps.  He DID give me a great freebie book providing some "general" routes & campsites and a good list of fish species by lake.

Yes, I've heard some horror stories about those roads.  I'm still evaluating the various EP's & various means of accessing them.  One option we're talking about is splitting the party, starting on both the East & West sides of the park, meeting in the middle & switching vehicle keys.  Anyway, the trip is not a definite at this point... just one of a couple strong trip possibilities.

I couldn't agree more about filing that trip plan!

Thanks for the leads!
