Title: Driving into Mack lake.
Post by Magicpaddler on Feb 13th, 2014 at 4:16am
They have been driving into Mack lake for years.  When I saw how the camp sites were trashed and the gear (Al canoes and blue tarps city) I figured they were driving in.

That's a bummer to hear that.  A lake like that seems so remote and difficult to get to and you find out that people still just fly in or take four wheelers to get there. I think I'm crossing this one off the list.

Mack is pretty, and the route through Ross and Cullen is sweet. Though when we went into Mack it was the busiest lake on our route (Sag to Kawinipi, Waiwiag, Mack, Ross to Sag).

When you were on Mack did you notice the gear other campers were using.  When we were there it was aluminum canoes, several huge blue plastic tarps and at our camp sight aluminum balls bigger than soft balls.

Saw Aluminum canoes and blue poly tarps at nearly every occupied site. Did not see aluminum balls, wonder what they were for?

Interesting.  Certainly does make Mack seem less remote.
