Title: Re: Favorite Lakes and Favorite Campsites "ever".
Post by GeneM on May 23rd, 2018 at 2:58am
Well it looks like I need to be the one to start off sharing some of my favorite lakes and campsites.

Starting from Nym Lake we are going to hit a couple of favorites right away. We plan to spend a couple of nights on Hamburg and Oriana Lakes. Great fishing and a little off the beaten path enough so that you don't feel like a lot of traffic going by. We also love Lonely Lake for the fishing and wolves.
We tend to camp in smaller sites off the main lake and each of those lakes fits those criteria.

We are hoping to jump into Draper this trip. That is a lake we have never been on. Anyone willing to offer any intel on fishing or campsites?

Next up is Chatterton Lake. Everyone loves Russell, but there is a peninsula site on Chatterton that is awesome for sunsets and sunrises, plus the fishing is good as well right out front. We have never camped on McDougall Lake right next door even though we have been through there a number of times. Anyone have insight into camping / fishing there?

From there we are not sure where we are going. Maybe Kawnipi, Agnes ???? We really don't have any outstanding favorite places there, although there are a lot of nice sites and good fishing, just not best of all time for us.

We will probably wander about some to get to Keefer and Sark Lakes. Fish, sunsets, blueberries..... More wandering hopefully to get to Delahey Lake Olive Jar site. What more needs to be said. We hope to find our notes in the jar from 1993 15th anniversary trip. Has anyone ever caught walleyes in Delahey?

Then it is off to the Death March and some of our all all time favorites - Suzanette, Brent, Ted with stops on ??? Burt, Marg???  We have passed through Burt and Marg many times but never camped there. Hows the fishing / campsites on either of those?

Finally we will paddle Lac La Croix and the Namakan River out to Namakan Lake and then to Crane. I enjoy the Namakan River for the white water and there is a great site on Namakan Lake that we will spend our last night at that has amazing sunset views to cap off our longest trip ever.

Just putting some of these things in writing is getting me excited for our trip. June 29th is coming soon.
