Title: Re: 6 day routes from Atikokan area Post by Snow_Dog on Apr 19th, 2010 at 12:13am
Prouboy's suggestion is an excellent one.
Do you want to move every day? If so, you can easily do a loop from Beaverhouse thru Quetico Lake to Jean, then down Burntside to Sturgeon, around the lower end of Sturgeon and up Bentpine Creek into March, Trail, Little Pine, Snow, Your, Fair, Badwater, and then back into Quetico Lake to finish the loop. Your better off to go this way than the reverse because you'll have the prevailing winds at your back down the length of Quetico Lake and you'll finish off with the mile long portage from Badwater to Quetico instead of starting with it. Worthy side trips would be to Bentpine Lake from March Lake as well as from Badwater to Omeme, West Cub, and Bearpelt. Another side trip that you might take if you have time is from Your Lake to Eyelet and Wild Goose Lakes. All of the mentioned side trip lakes offer good walleye fishing (or so I've heard...haven't stopped to sample it yet, but it's on my list to do so someday). Omeme/West Cub/Bearpelt see very little traffic as does Eyelet and Wildgoose. Heck, once you get off Sturgeon Lake you might not see another soul until you get to Badwater, even on your main travel route. If you are interested in more info on this area, send me a PM. Jim J. Solo or Yellowbird are a couple of others who come quickly to mind that have travelled the area between Sturgeon and Badwater. Just watch out for the Badwater spook! |
