Yeah, if memory serves, it was easy to find. There is one pond you can paddle across to cut the total distance down a few hundred m. It was muddy but pretty easy going.

I did this trip in September, 2023. Noticed some burns in the western part of Sturgeon Lake on the south shore if I remember right... but other than that, it was green and beautiful all the way through

I've driven past there many times and I've seen cars/trucks parked right by the put-in by the highway... there's enough room for 2 vehicles it looks like. I parked about 300m down the road (south). On the right, there was some space there to park. Very easy access! If you have any other questions, let me know! This route is a ton of fun and very rewarding!

@@OutdoorEarthling sorry just saw your reply. thx very much. i appreciate it. looking at going into quetico next week. lerome lake to sue falls. hoping to maybe get to turtle river in the fall. if not, next year for sure. thx again !!

@@rick00001967 did you go? What route did you take? I did Quetico last year (check out my vid on it if you want). :)

@@OutdoorEarthling so sorry. i do not usually comment on youtube so i never check messages. yes, i went to sue falls in May before the long weekend. solo trip for 4 nights. water was high so it was a nice paddle in. and the winds cooperated that day. was darn cold at night though. i packed light and only slept under a tarp. brrrrr. days were quite windy so fishing was a challenge. last day out was beautiful but got really windy near the end. the portage at sue falls is a challenge for an old guy like me but it is a nice area. i go into quetico several times each summer for the last 4 years. hoping to do a short 3 night trip up turtle river next week since i will be in the area. just wanna get a look at the first part of the route to maybe plan a longer trip in there next year. i am gonna have a look at your rushing river vid. that another place on my list.

Thanks, will do!

Thanks :) I took that portage too.... it's a beast. If I remember right it was almost 2km. I think I was able to put in at one of the ponds along it to the left to save a couple hundred meters though.

Appreciate the sub and welcome! :) Have you been to Canada? Check out my SCT video by the way - did that trip last summer - it's one of the few trails not in a protected park meaning I got lots of really great drone shots!

Amazing! I'm planning another trip through Wabakimi this summer. Is that one a fly-in/fly-out?

💚💚 Really appreciate the kind words! Yeah... Tin Hat and Walt Hill are really special places :)

Thanks :). Some pretty incredible moments out there!

nice. Yeah... that rocky cliff gets a lot of sun and gives a really cool view to the S & E! If you have any specific questions about the route, feel free to reach out outdoorearthling at gmail :)

There are some loooooong protages in Quetico. I really like routes with lots of smaller lakes & short portages... more interesting scenery in my opinion... and it gives the pup lots of breaks from the canoe. What was your favorite lake or camping spot?

Thanks! Yeah what a gem! Only heard about the lake randomly through a friend just this summer.

Thanks Wayne! Incredible part of the world for sure!

Lived in Comox? Cool! I went in the other way (Saltery Bay) but yeah - either way in is beautiful I'm sure :)

$200 per person one way!

If I recall correctly, there is a short portage there. The portages in this park are insane though. Super easy to find, well-maintained, big wide trails. Enjoy your trip!

Great question. I have gone through this area many times on kayak. In my experience, ease of getting through is largely dependent on water levels. During my best trip, there was a ~10 meter stretch where I had to walk the kayak while in the water. Totally doable. The huge reward is the beauty of that particular area. It is wonderful!

Yeah thanks! I hit that one on the way back... I was rushing a bit and my clip got messed up. Personally, I've seen a lot worse though... there was a portage in Wabakimi that I practically had to climb down a cliff solo-carrying a canoe... But yeah... you're right... Devil's Staircase was pretty smooth rock and I could see it being trouble in the rain - thanks for the note!

heck yeah! Pretty incredible!

Great to hear! Appreciate the update & hope this finds travelers well!

Will check Cibecue Falls out for sure next winter - thanks! Yeah - been to Sedona lots and will be back again :)

Haha it was about 4 hours of work, shoveling gravel, rocks and then covering it with branches. Super sketchy!

@@OutdoorEarthling did you have phone service in case it didn’t work and you got stuck?

@@reasonablevegan no cell service there (no service most places I go); however, I use a Zoleo device which gets satellite signal and allows me to send texts and location pings to people in my contacts list. It also has a button that calls in the emergency choppers ;) Balancing calculated risks... the key to any worthwhile adventure!

@@OutdoorEarthling Awesome! I am very jealous of your adventures. Hopefully I'll get around to some myself before long.

Hope you get to make it someday soon! Well worth! 🤜

Thanks for the tip... Might have to check that out!

You have to book it. Marvel lake is through Alberta's site. Magog lake is through BC's site. Magog fills up really quick so that'll likely be your limiting factor. There are other options for places to camp on the way up if you don't get Marvel

That's Lake Magog. The main campsite with about 50 tent pads is a 5 minute walk away :)

Mystic is awesome! :)

Awesome! Glad you got to share in it too! What an amazing place!

nice! Lodge was crowded, but the hikes (other than the one viewpoint at Nublet) felt quite remote. One of my favorite spots to date! :)

Early July. If you go, make sure you get up there for a sunrise. It's epic!

@@OutdoorEarthling Should we do niblet/nub peak for sunrise?

@@charleswang6441 hell yes! There are lots of really good views on the way up, so go as high as you feel like, find a killer view and post up. You won't regret it!

BC is amazing!

That’s rude. He is super cute

Ah it's easy... Just use a wide angle lens ;)

@@destinyforreal9744 it ain't

Thanks! Yeah, they're the BEST! :)

💯 should do it! Life's too short to miss out on incredible parts of the world like this!

Very fortunate to live in a place you can access a part of the world like this on a weekly basis. Glad you're making the most of it! :)

Well if you have a passion to do it, you should do it! Solo is a completely different experience... Extremely rewarding... Especially the first time you do it. Take safety and backup precautions (eg tell people where you're going, bring a satellite emergency device - I use a ZOLEO, and maybe start with a less remote park). Hope you give it a try! Feel free to reach out if you need help planning!

Did you end up going? What'd you think?

Appreciate that! It was awesome and I'll definitely be back soon!
