Hello all,
I am really shooting to get to Wabakimi for a month next summer. Did the west part last time - want to go north and west this time. Any intel on Dawn or Webster lakes to fly in and paddle back? I loved that Beaver. I have not been in one, but that upholstery looked like what I imagine covered the walls in a bordello in the 50's. As the song says, good place to get some thinking done.
I like the idea of paddling a loop from Caribou to Whitewater and Kenoji and back around through Smoothrock.
The key for me is I don't want to see anyone, not even a fishing boat. Probably due to the early June start we didn't see a soul this summer. I would like to replicate this but it will be tougher on the east side with the popular routes.
So being as vague and ambiguous as possible, how should I see the northern part of the park including Whitewater and still see the fewest number of people? I would like to avoid the train if possible. It was fun, but we talked to some people that have waited for hours for it to arrive, and that would bug me.
I don't hate people, but 14 days without seeing anything but mosquito's and pike hit me hard in a good way. I am very compelled to improve on that.
One more thing - what is the latest in the year anyone has tripped up there? I can see a fall trip up there being outstanding, but fall might start in August.
Thank you!
