A large section of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness will be closed near the end of the Gunflint Trail due to the ongoing threat from an active wildfire. The closure area will include an area west of the Gunflint Trail. Lakes and campsites included in the closure are Ogishkemuncie Lake, sections of Knife Lake, Ottertrack Lake, Jasper Lake, Kekekabic Lake, Spice Lake, Hanson Lake, and Ester Lake, among many others (see map above). Day-trip paddling and overnight camping is currently prohibited in the closure area. The Kekekabic Trail is also closed at this time. Approximately 80 campsites are off-limits in the BWCA as a result of the fire and subsequent closure area. The closure went into effect Friday, June 16. There is also a campfire ban in effect for the BWCA at this time. Learn all the details in this short track of the podcast.

The seed for the Sven-Saw was planted in 1960 on a portage between Knife Lake and Carp Lake in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness on the Minnesota-Canadian border.  By 1961, Richard had made one — the compact folding saw with a blade protected by its handle. He patented the design and founded Swen Products. The company continues to be family-owned and operated to this day, and the parts are proudly manufactured and packaged in Minnesota. https://svensaw.com/

We’re reviewing one of our favorite routes this week. This route starts at the end of the Gunflint Trail and is perfect for those wanting to do it all. It has waterfalls, large and small lakes, solitude, historic sites, cliffs, and excellent fishing. You must be willing to paddle; Knife Lake, the farthest point on this route, is about halfway between Ely and the Gunflint Trail.

On a nice sunny day we leave our camp on Knife Lake traveling east along the boarder into Ottertrack Lake. We wind our way down this narrow lake with high cliffs on our northern flank. At our new camp we do a little swimming before cooking up some fish for dinner. What a great day in the Boundary Waters.

We continue our way North East from Vera portaging our way into Knife Lake. With crystal clear waters and a fresh breeze blowing in our face we work our way to the North Arm of Knife Lake where we camp for the night.

Our trip is coming to a close.  After being out for 7 days and traveling over 95 miles and packing our gear over 30+ portages we find ourselves paddling across a familiar lake.  Knife lake famous for so many reasons from a spot used by many to make the sharp edged tools needed to survive to the home of Dorothy Molter.  We paddled under sunny skies making our way back out to Ely.  This half of the Voyagers highway was a great trip.  The sights are amazing and the history of those traveling before you humbles one as you pack your lightweight canoe over the portages.  Thanks for joining us on this trip, it will be one I remember for the rest of my life.

As we were paddling along the Voyagers Highway we ran into Steve and Ted.  10 years prior in July of 1999 the two were on Knife Lake when the severe storm which caused the blow down raged across the lake.  They were luckily having lunch at a campsite when it hit.  The two were kind enough to share their story with me.  I can only imagine the terrifying experience they had that day.  Even though they've had numerous trips into the BWCAW since they decided they should take an anniversary trip 10 years after the fact.  We just happened to bump into them on their jounrey.

After spending the day exploring around Knifes Lower Arm we packed up our camp and headed out. We took a different rout on the way out that brought us over a portage scraped down by the glaciers during the ice age. We traveled through Ensign Lake where we show off a nice campsite. Jim talks about the effect the deer have one the area as they continue to push north.

After the long day of paddling to get into Knife Lake the day before, we decided to relax around camp and do a little exploring around Knife’s Lower Arm. It was amazing to see the destruction left over from the forest fire that had ripped through the area a few years ago. The remnants were still readily available and made portions of the trip seem very gloomy. We were revived however with a little rest and some great views atop a high island in the middle of the lower arm. With our camp already set up, we had the time to just explore around the lake. The shore seemed to jump up out of the water with very steep shorelines. The climb up with a little effort was rewarded with breathtaking views up and down the Lower Arm. The occasional canoe would pass by below us while we sprawled out in the soft moss under a canopy of trees. Knife Lake has a rugged beauty that makes every portage and paddle stroke worth the effort given.

Its -26 F outside here in Northern Minnesota as I edit this show. Its nice to remember the hot days paddling in the BWCAW. This day was especially hot requiring a dip in the lake at most portages. We paddled and portaged for over 8 hours until we found an open camping site on Kife lake. The portage leading into Knife lake led us to a nice little set of rappids. The crystal clear water in Knife was quite refreshing. We hopped in the water at the end of the portage and let the fast moving water revive us for the next bout of paddling. It was a good thing too, we were expecting to find a camping site in the next hour or two, but it wasn’t for another 4 hours of paddling that we came across a campsite that wasn’t either taken or surrounded by the scorched land of a previous forest fire. All in all it was a very nice day out on the water with some spectacular views.
