07/16/2023 09:22PM We exited out of Skipper on June 9th. Not sure how many permits are issued per day, but we ran into 2 or 3 groups headed in. 4 people/2 canoes in the lake and then a very large group - or 2 groups - on the portage. And the day before 2 kayakers came through the portage - we checked to see if Skipper was open when we were looking for a camp on Thursday June 8th. |

07/16/2023 03:54PM I don't know how widespread that practice is. I had a permit for Skipper last year in August and it was a hopping place all the way to Banadad. Evidently no one wants to go from Banadad to Long Island Lake if they do go in Skipper. |

07/14/2023 03:11PM (Sarcasm font) Imagine that, people not obeying the rules, I don't buy it! But in all seriousness, I bet it happens quite a bit with multiple EP's serviced by the same lake. But the positive to that is your going to get some solitude not far from an EP. |

07/14/2023 09:51AM Just figured out that the reason why I never see anyone when I go in through EP49, Skipper/Portage is that people acquire the Skipper permit and then go in through Lizz/Swamp. Took me years to realize it! |
