| Sample Itinerary | |
| DAY 1: Your trip starts in the afternoon at the campsite on Whitefish Lake in the Superior National Forest. Unload the trailer, repack personal gear into Duluth Packs. Set up camp the Wilderness Inquiry way. After dinner, you'll discuss expectations as a group around the campfire. DAY 2: Get up early to make breakfast. Review canoe skills and other details necessary for a safe and fun trip. Break camp and set out on Whitefish Lake. Paddle northeast to the portage into Elbow lake. Camp on one of the sites on Elbow lake. This trip has several options for camping. You can either base camp on Elbow lake or travel and camp at different locations. DAY 3: Spend the day canoeing and exploring 4 different lakes. From Elbow, you'll paddle north and cross the short easy portage into Timber Lake. Paddle across Timber and portage into Frear lake. Eat lunch on Frear and, if time allows, take a short swim or a couple casts of your fishing pole. We'll either camp on Frear or, paddle and portage back to Elbow lake. This will depend on whether others are camped in the area, the weather, and the inclination of the group. DAY 4: Spend the day relaxing at camp or take a half day paddle to Finger lake and down the Cross River. Spend the night telling tales about the day's adventures around the campfire. DAY 5: Rise with the sun and paddle across Elbow Lake. Cross the portage to Whitefish and continue back to the spot where the van is parked. Pack-up for the ride home. The trip officially ends in the early afternoon. Those who use WI's van transportation can expect to return to Minneapolis in the evening. |
