Big Trout Loop Posted by: pturner on Jan-13-12 5:54 AM (EST)
I did the Canoe-Joe-Burnt Island-Otterslide-Big Trout-White Trout-Macintosh-Thompson loop last September right after Labor Day. There was one short section where I waded with my boat through a shallow rock garden between Burnt Island and Big Trout. Macintosh Creek had a few beaver dams to pull over but and water level was low but it still enough to float my boat. The staff at Canoe Lake had up-to-date and accurate information. I asked them the same question when I picked up my permit and they filled me in with what they knew and they were right.
