Ya know I'm just not a huge fan of the Narrows. I've stayed at three different sites on the narrows and most of them have been pretty mediocre. And when I look back at my map since I'm traveling w/o GPS, I'm not even 100% sure I can pinpoint the actual sites that I've been at. I'm pretty darn good at map and compass navigation but the Pickerel Narrows just seem to give me fits. I feel like I have to look at my map every two minutes and until I spot some of the key landmarks that I know, I'm just never 100% comfortable. This past summer we got pushed into the upper part of the narrows and thankfully I realized this before we ended up heading towards a dead end.

I'm not a fisherman so its possible that I'm chastising one of the great parts of Quetico without knowing it. But I guess if I were giving input I'd recommend some of the Pickerel sites and then padding the Narrows to some of the sites just into Batch. Bay or the far western area of the Narrows.

I think my feelings on the Narrows are a result of mediocre (not bad) experiences there. For some reason the weather also tends to be crap when I'm at this part of the park, too.
