It was a beautiful summer morning in August when I got out of my tent atop of a 40 foot viewpoint at the Western tip of McCrae Lake… This is where it spills into the Good Harbor area. The body of water is part of the Gibson-McDonald Canoe Route and can be fairly busy on weekends, but with good reason. There are many camp sites with great views, the lake is closed to motorized water traffic, and there is a decent Bass and Pike population for the fisherman. The area can be accessed from the East by Paddle and Portage or from the West by boat which you will need to anchor and have a smaller vessel, or be prepared for a short swim, to access land. A feel of the remote, smack dab in the middle of a very popular cottage area.
