I'm considering a nothern entry to the park this summer for my trip. All  I know about the northern part of the park comes from what I have read on here. My father will be coming with me on this trip and although he is a canoe camping veteran, he has put on some years. We both want to explore this part of the park, but since I'll be the work horse, killer portages need to be kept to a minimum (read at most 2 every other day, killer meaning anything over a 1/4 mile or anything with severe elevation changes such as the Louisa Falls portage.)

I hear there are some pretty good fishing lakes up on that side and I'm eager to see more of the park.

Any advice?
