I drove up there years ago to paddle it. Got there early in the year and it was dry as a bone, I couldn't believe it. Ended up paddling the St Louis River from Brookston to Cloquet. I ended up moving to Cloquet years later... Never did make it on the Cloquet River the fifteen years I was there... The BW was just to close to paddle much closer to home. I'd just go on a wim back then, kind of where I'm getting to now. I did play on the St Louis river a lot though... I could get dropped off north of town and paddle home.
