We like to go there to get our daughter "warmed up" with a couple of easy portages and some easy paddling before our annual boundary waters trip. I typically see nice wildlife in the Sylvania Wilderness. If you're going late spring through July, most of the time (but not always) it is pretty buggy. May I suggest you come prepared for mosquitoes? You can reserve a backcountry camping permit online or stop at the Ranger Station on the way in a get one. Enjoy your trip! Mama (a.k.a.

Convinced me to add Sylvania to my list of possible canoe camping trips to plan. Others on the list are Chippewa Flowage, turtle-flambeau Flowage, and Michigan's Big island lake area. I'm a rookie paddler just finished first season on small lakes and tame river near my Chicago home. I built a fifteen feet plywood/fiberglass/epoxy res<br />in canoe designed by JEM Watercraft. Well thanks for this blog. I'll be tracking down your others.aintwe.blest@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07514544134841552198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909806939639836397.post-82275196113136041802015-06-01T02:40:00.539-07:002015-06-01T02:40:00.539-07:00You're right as usual.

I think the worst thing I ever did is get all the way to Northern Minnesota, then realize I was still wearing my office shoes and forgotten to pack outdoor shoes for the Boundary Waters. Those shoes were fit for the trash can by the end of the trip!Mama (a.k.a.
