BWCA Bushwhack: Cross Bay Lake to Lucky Pay Lake

Continuing through the unnamed lake that you entered from Cross Bay Lake, you enter a creek and continue to paddle along for a short stretch. When you reach the high cliffs on the left, you see a small beaver run that leads to Fool Lake on your immediate right. Passing by the beaver run, you continue up the shrinking creek until it ends at a small cascade, which you can hear in the grass beyond a log that somewhat blocks your way. It looks like you can manage to get the canoe out of the creek here by the floating log, just to the left of the little cascade.

Bushwhack to Lucky Pay Lake

Beginning from the small cascading creek, you bushwhack up to Lucky Pay Lake. During the bushwhack, you stay to the left of the creek. You find it easier to walk in the creek part of the way. As usual, this bushwhack ends at a beaver dam when you reach Lucky Pay Lake.
