Thank you for sharing your trip with us. Loved the videos. I don't think I've ever seen Cedar Lake so calm!

I agree! I have paddled a glassy cedar in the wee hours of the morning, but certainly not like that mid day! It was a fantastic way to end a good trip. Thanks for watching

I bolted mine on rather than use clamps, as my truck is much older. I also drilled out the bolt holes on the cross pipe so I could put in Pins allowing me to easily undo and swing open, so I can drive the ATV up. I also cut the top vertical tubes to make it easier to put the truck in the garage, took about 2 inches off..

We only caught lake and brook trout , plus a nice small mouth bass on manitou. Nothing on fassett but we really only fished for a bit on our way to shad on a morning paddle. I assume all of those lakes have large and small mouth bass.

I love these access points. One year we traversed the Tim River and used both access points. We took a couple bicycles and a couple of the boys peddled it on Day 1 so we had to sit around for a bit. It was worth it though (says the guy that didn't bike it lol).

The trick to unicorn hill is knowing that what seems like a never ending uphill slog does have an end point, once once you reach it the rest of the way is a piece of cake in comparison. The worst of the hill is RIGHT before the top… so a little push and you are essentially home free
