The final lake-crossing to the community of Black Lake is over twenty miles and there are no islands to break up the full force of the wind, so you might just find that a cover is a good thing to have along. Firewood is more than abundant and there is no real need for gas stoves. They are handy for those wet days when you want to cook under your rain fly. Fishing on the Fond du Lac is excellent. Count on seeing lots of wildlife.
Black bears are common, as are moose.
In one section below Redbank Falls I have seen as many as twelve moose in a single day. In fact, I have never seen fewer than two. I have also seen lynx, foxes, otters, mink, beaver, marten, and wolves. With few portages and lots of current, count on an easy fifteen to twenty miles a day. Allow a few extra days for possible wind on lake crossings.
