Paddle the Gile Flowage

Join local Naturalist Zach Wilson from Northwoods Learning Adventures LLC as we explore the Gile Flowage.  Located in northeastern Iron County, Wisconsin, within the Lake Superior watershed, the 3,384-acre Gile Flowage is fed by the west fork of the Montreal River and six other tributary streams. Twenty-six miles of shoreline, numerous protected bays, and large outcroppings of exposed bedrock, this is the closest you’ll get to a Canadian canoeing experience but without the long drive.  Islands, exposed granite, and natural shorelines covered in Canada yew certainly transports one to a place resembling the Quetico of Canada. The Gile Flowage is surrounded by miles of public access shoreline making it a unique destination for a backcountry destination feel. A hidden gem tucked away from the crowds.  Strenuous level is low, this will be a casual paddle.  Canoes/PDFs provided.  Registration is required by 8/10.  Registered participants will be emailed directions to put-in and other trip information ahead of time.  $40 ($30 members)
