Can anyone tell me what the sites on Crow Bay are like and which is the best one. We Are also booked on the one site Wright lake after the 5305 from Dickson. Any info on that site as well would be great. Thanks.

One of the best sites I've ever been on is on Crow Bay just as you approach the archipellago to Laveille.

Preacher gets 5 extra points for using the word "archipelago".

Showoff.

Hey sometimes you don't have any small change handy and you have to break out the big bills.

All the sites in those narrows/fjord/archipelago look pretty nice.

One thing that struck me, at the end of a 10 hour solo paddle from Little Crow, was how few sites there are on Crow Bay. Maybe 2, depending on where Crow Bay ends and Laveille begins.

This site is as far from Crow R. as you could see. At the end of my day I was willing to bed down in the canoe and bob around for the night. It was the first site and I kind of felt bad taking it knowing there was a group of 4 lagging behind me. I know I shouldn't do that, but they were taking it slow and fishing and four of them and I'm just me and alone and pumping like a madman all the way. So nerts to them.

Hmmm....The second usage by Preacher is spelled correct ( I think )

Only one L in archipelago by the way and Barabara also gets high marks
for spelling as does Preacher seeing he self corrected

If we are referring to this type of
an archipelago (pronounced /¨ğrkəˈpɛləgoʊ/)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archipelago says it's a chain or cluster of islands then perhaps what you refer to it is a little farther up than the narrows/fjord I think you refer too. Guess the narrows/fjords/archipelago summed it up but I think we need to sepearte archipelago and narrows/fjords

What are you guys trying to do using those big bills

Stick with the $20 ( narrows/fjords) and likely we can follow along
but it is nice to see those $50/$100 (archipelago)
as it broadens our knowledge

Whatever!

Sounds like a good mix for my gin!!!! I must try it some time!!

I guess it depends upon the definition of Crow Bay, as Preacher alluded to. There are two "lobes" of a bay and I would consider both of them to be part of Crow Bay. In other words, as you come out of the Crow River, you enter a bay then head through a narrows into another section of the bay. The next set of narrows (a very short narrows, not nearly as long as the first one) has many sites around it. I prefer the site on the peninsula that comes down from the north just as you are entering the second narrows. It has good swimming, rocks for stargazing, is large enough for several tents, is multi-level with minor elevation changes and allows for easy access to protected water no matter which way the wind is blowing. The view is quite pretty of Crow Bay and there's good fishing right in your back yard. Here's the view of crow bay from the site...



And here's the view in the morning looking through the narrows into Lavieille...



But honestly, so many of the sites around Crow Bay are quite pleasant and you can really not go too terribly wrong.
