Thanks so much for the additional information, it all sounds great!!
The canoes would be a perfect addition to the trip

We are now thinking of camping several nights at Washington Creek, that sounds great, thanks for the suggestion!

Then maybe try a 3 day shorter backpacking loop with the kids. Looks like Huginnin Cove Loop might be fun? Maybe a day hike up to Minong Ridge Overlook?

Thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate it. We are arriving in Windigo. Not sure if we are going to take the ferry to other parts of the island or not? We have one week. My son would love the old mines!

We are planning our first trip in August with our kids aged 9 & 11.

Suggestions on favorite places/activities with kids would be appreciated.

Thank you Governor Dayton!!!
