West of the 10-Mile Bridge you can canoe into Straits Lake, Deep Lake, and Corner lake, but the islands and land here are private. There are steep banks and erosion is evident. The campground, a fee area, has tables, toilets, and drinking water. There is a picnic area. This reach is not recommended for novice canoers.
Moderate skill is required to avoid logs in the river.
Portaging may be necessary. This area is mostly marshlands and meanders. Nature enthusiasts and photographers will delight in this environment. An alternate route is marked in this area in order to avoid portaging and dragging your canoe. There are no roads or access points below the 8-Mile Bridge.
