Save yourself a heart attack...take your boat to lake Kabetagoma and reserve one of the Boat-in campsites in the park.
we went to ash river trail a couple years ago...fishing was good, but we went 1st week of June. plenty of solitude, and a Steak dinner with cold beer is available close-by.
I dreamt about doing a boundary waters trip...but I’m out of shape...and honestly didn’t want to work that hard on vacation.
i was planning to go to the arrowhead section. I would definitely base camp. That time of year the fishing will be tough.
