In addition, most of our parties exit the BWCA via this point so as to paddle-in on the last day on their own time schedule. Easy, slow-paced base camp routes are as simple to map out as longer, traveling trips for those in better shape. These routes can lead to fantastic walleye and pike fishing, along with smallmouth bass and crappie, too. For those heading to the southeast, moose and eagles will probably be sighted. The area hold several of the BWCA's wolf packs, so there is a good possibility that you might hear them howling.
Wolves are timid around humans, though, avoiding camps and most portages.
The chance of seeing a wolf is rare . . . South Farm is an isolated, motor-use lake. The first day differs in that you are paddling the scenic South Kawishiwi River, past some very pretty rapids, and some great walleye fishing spots. The van trip to the landing is only about 15 minutes. From here, a short paddle can find you base camped on Gabbro Lake, fishing for walleye, or exploring an old logging dam site.
