Love the video. When is open inland lake fishing season in the yoop? I've always fished them all year long.
Just got back from Craig Lake, 4th year now. We stayed 4 nights at campsite 3 this past trip. We wanted site 9 but it was occupied, but actually pleased with site 3. We normally go in September, this year we tried June and the misquotes were so bad. Tried to portage to crooked for the day to fish, but so much layover with trees, just stayed on Craig. Maybe see you guys out there one year.
Yeah June is rough for bugs. We have site 9 booked this summer!
a satisfying adventure once again. truly blunts the constant arrows loosed at us by these unsettled times. thanky, thanky.
Glad to be a distraction! Thanks for watching!
@@brianandheatheroutdoors Laughing! thanks for your swift reply, exactly the validation I was craving! Peace and Love to you both.
Awesome video! That is a special place!! Thank you for taking the time to make that beautiful video. I appreciate it. 🌲
Thanks for watching!
Great video and what a surprise ending. Could happen to anyone, and admire your spirit for sharing that lesson.
We were able to repair them with some carbon fiber tape and are now used as backups!
You all have a video for every place I look up on here! I’m moving to Marquette next year and can’t wait to explore the area
You’re going to love it here!
@@brianandheatheroutdoors I’m getting a job working on the freighters so I’ll have lots of time to explore.
This just went on my bucket list ! Thanks for taking the time to share.
Thanks for taking the time to watch!
Hey Heather & Brian! Love the new video!! A couple years ago, I day hiked around Craig Lake. I remember noting site 6 and 7 being pretty nice! I would love to get back there again. I Remember it being a really, really long drive back to reach the park! Take care and keep wandering! Thx, Ken
I really want to hike the perimeter! I never have. And yes, it’s quite the drive in and the road definitely could use some grading this year. Thanks for watching!
You two are awesome, thanks for doing this video
What an amazing video. Thank you for taking the time to make it!
Thanks for watching!
Did you check out site 5 at all?
what a really lovely place to go to, so beautiful
It’s a beautiful park! Thanks for watching 💚
Spent May 11-13 on site 20. Caught 3 pike and did see the Eagles. Great weather too.
Awesome! How was the wind out there exposed on that point? Looks like a sweet spot to camp!
@@brianandheatheroutdoors No wind the days I was there. I use a 13 foot sea kayak with rudder.
Stayed at site 4 a few weeks ago! Been to this lake many times! Thanks for sharing!
Nice video. Craig Lake, looks good, and so close from the Houghton area. Went completely under my radar. Thank You for the blip. I might have to take the kayaks down to paddle sometime. Looking forward to some summer temperatures(*puts out vibes*) and a kayak camp to Montreal Falls or some random bay beyond. Eagle Harbor is my next itch this year.
*edit in* I was looking at the map and.. is there a Craig Lake at Craig Lake State Park? either way. Three Lakes, Michigamme, not quite off my radar but the state park was.
Yep, we were paddling on Craig Lake! Someday I want to do the portage to Crooked lake!
I’m sold, let’s do it- canoe backcountry camping @Craig Lake State Park!
Hey there, nice video thanks for sharing. I was wondering if you know if Craig Lake is busy during late October?
Not usually!
Awesome thank you!
Loved the video. Do you have to reserve the camp sites or is it first come first served?
Mark, it's first come first served. This is a beautiful place but very rugged. Very buggy, bring your head nets. You will have to carry your gear and kayak/canoe in about a mile. I do wish people would stop putting it on youtube. Happy camping!
They’re first come first serve unfortunately 😕
They're now reservable!
Can you camp on any of the islands? I will be visiting my sister in Chicago next spring, coming from the DC area. Bringing my kayak. Between Craig Lake State Park and Sylvania what would be your choice to visit?
At state parks camping is only permitted at designated camp sites so you wouldn’t be allowed to camp on the islands at Craig Lake State Park. Otherwise dispersed camping is allowed on any state owned land. And as a visiting tourist I’d say depends on if you like to fish. Sylvania has better fishing but is regulated.
@@brianandheatheroutdoors Thank you.
Duct tape!!! 😁
We did a carbon fiber repair and they’re almost like new again!
The old canoe hat…..
