Cart-in sites at Tettegouche

[herm]

Anyone have any thoughts/recommendations on these sites? Our family (me, spouse, 2 boys 13/6) are thinking of reserving one for a few days come summer (Whenever that is!) The park map shows several along the lake. Any of them better than others? Worse? Is the cart-in part fairly easy (like at Splitrock)? Thanks for any help!

I have not stayed at any of the cart-in sites, but am very familiar with Tettegouche. IMO you cannot go wrong with any of them. You may want to just call the park and describe how many people/tents you have, what you;'re looking for etc. and they can maybe suggest one that would be best for you. The walk in is easy, carts provided just like any of the other parks.

Hope this helps.

I have stayed at one of the cart in sites, We hiked in about a mile give or take ended up on the shore of lake superior all seemed great. Then at night our tent kept lighting up, look outside the tent and notice the traffic on highway 61. What they have you do is park on the west side of 61 cross over hike east then south and end up right back next to the highway.

If you are thinking of the Tofte area there are a number of backcountry sites you can drive to. These sites feel as if you are in the bwcaw but with out having to reserve a permit, they are also free.

There are several closer to the lake than others but the others are closer to the parking site and higher up hill. The hike isn't too bad and the sites are spaced out quite abit. Having stayed at one uphill I'd take one closer to the lake next time.
