Good BWCA 3-Day Trip

     I have to admit I prefer to paddle the lakes at the end of the Gunflint Trail for their tall pine trees and rocky shorelines but a BWCA trip from the mid-trail area can be nice too. We decided to take a trip off of Poplar Lake this past weekend and entered through the Meeds Lake entry point.

     Meeds Lake is a medium sized BWCA lake with only three campsites. I’m not sure why it only has three and Caribou, it’s next door neighbor has a gajillion, but we were happy we chose to stay on the quieter lake. It was such a quiet weekend without much if any wind.  It was so quiet you wondered if your ears were really working because you couldn’t hear anything until a bird would fly over and you’d hear the flapping of its wings.

     You can check out our trip complete with photos on this Google Map.
