Title: Re: WheelChair in the BWCA Post by prouboy on Jun 24th, 2009 at 3:29am
It's kind of a hassle to get there, but Ladyboot Bay on Lac La Croix requires NO portages. You get there by driving to Crane Lake, then taking a powerboat "tow" (I've worked with Zups Outfitters out of Crane Lake) to Lac La Croix. The outfitters stop and unload in Lac La Croix on a wee spit of rock, just off the mouth of Ladyboot Bay, which is just inside the BWCA. You have a short paddle from the drop off point into the Bay..maybe a quarter mile. You will find that others in Ladyboot Bay bring in lots of gear, on account there is no portaging... I heard some outfitters even arrange to meet campers in Ladyboot Bay during mid-stay back out on this tiny island to re-supply them! Ladyboot Bay is a beautiful bay and has pretty good fishing.
I don't know if this will meet your needs, but if you call Mark at Zups he'll be able to tell you. One potential problem....better check party size limit...not sure if it's 8 or 9, and I'd also check the canoe limit. Good luck! Another thought: contact Wilderness Inquiry in Minneapolis. They are a non-profit dedicated to giving people with disabilities outdoor experiences. They might have other ideas. They are a very good outfit. prouboy |
