Cope's Canoes

|
After arriving at Craig Lake State Park, we plan to set up a base camp near the parking lot at the southwest end of Craig Lake. |
|
On Monday, we plan to conduct a canoeing trip, including a portage from Craig Lake to Crooked Lake. We plan to camp that evening on an island on the southeast end of Crooked Lake. |
|
On Tuesday, we will return to our base camp at Craig Lake. We plan to camp at this base camp on Tuesday and Wednesday night. |
|
On Thursday, we plan to break camp at Craig Lake and travel to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. |
|
After setting up a base camp at Little Beaver Drive-In Campground, we plan to conduct a day hike from this base camp. |
|
One possible trail for our day hike is the Beaver Basin Loop: This 5.0 mile loop begins at the Little Beaver Lake Campground. The first section traverses a portion of the White Pine self-guiding trail, then heads past several old sea caves cut in ancient sandstone rock on the way to Lake Superior. The trail offers the choice of walking along the shoreline of Little and Big Beaver Lakes. |
|
On Friday, we plan to break camp at Little Beaver Drive-In Campground, and head for home. |
