Hay Bay Bushwack

Post by kolo »

Has anyone bushwacked south from South Lake Desor to Hay Bay using the Little Siskiwit River as a handrail or northeast from the Island Mine Trail? Is it a bad idea? Is it even worth the effort to camp at Hay Bay?

Never tried it but I was considering it from Siskiwit along the lake where the island mine trail peels uphill away from the water. I think following the river would be very hard and boggy/wet. There's only (1) campsite so I'd pull a backcountry permit just to be safe if I was you.
