Trip Log / Diary | ||
| Take the Long Lake road off of 28, register and pay at the office by the parking lot, and you`re off. You can study the office registry book to see how heavy the "traffic" is on the lake you`re heading for, and plan your trip accordingly. It`s a long but pretty paddle down Long to the portage at the end, which is long but flat and well-traveled. Buzzard has several nice sites, some accommodating 3 or 4 tents. You`ll be joined by numerous fishing boats during the day, some chugging along at dawn, but nights are more secluded.
There`s an easy portage into Vixen, which isn`t much for campsites but has a nice population of pitcher plants, then a killer carryover into Shark, which looks nicer. Travel time between the Long Lake parking lot and a Buzzard site is 2 hours if the wind is with you, an extra half hour if it isn`t, which is often the case. Janet Duval jduval@stn.net | ||
