Route Description:

This 1-2 day loop starts at Hwy.118 (Big East Access Point parking lot), continues south through and around picturesque Big East Lake.  Big East Lake is a large lake with many arms, bays and islands to explore and fish. 

The Lake is home to several remote hunt camps.Trips may start from one of several access points throughout the area. Some of the routes are loops. Most access points are unsupervised. Recommendations include having a map of the area, being prepared for inclement weather and emergencies, having alternate plans and practicing ‘no trace camping’.
