Depends on where you want go, how much you want to spend, and how HARD of a trip you want to do.Originally Posted by "The Man"
I always push harder to get into the interior a little more. This past trip was only 2 portages in and it showed. Lots of people, and slow fishing.
If you're in good shape, have some decent lighter gear and can take punishing yourself the first and last days getting in and out, I'd do a trip to Crooked or Iron in the Boundary Waters. If you're really up to the challenge, I'd skip the BWCA all together and do a trip into Quetico. If you do a Quetico Trip, there are things you need, and it costs more.
Quetico requires.......
* Fishing License
* Daily camping permits for each person 22.00 /night ( adds up quick).
* RABC ( Remote Area Border Crossing) Permit
* PassPort
* Clean Record......meaning NO ISSUES. They consider a DUI a Felony and you will never get in.
If doing a Quetico Trip, I'd push to Crooked and Fish Canadian Water, or I'd go up the Falls Chain or Base Camp on Saganagons.
Lots and Lots of options, but start planning EARLY. If you want to go in May next year for instance, I'd start seriously getting you group together in December, take Deposits late December, and then secure permits in January. They go FAST and you can get them 6 months in advance.
Later,
Geo
