This little interesting route starts off from the south shore access of Burntside Lake, taking you through one of the most populated lakes in the BWCA, into one of the least traveled regions of the Boundry Waters, all in one day.

Heading North from Burntside lake, across Crab Lake and then west through some small lakes and tiny streams into Buck Lake. Then you will have a 1.5 mile portage to Cummings Lake, after traveling the length of this beautiful lake, you will enter Korb Creek.
After taking a side trip into isolated Coxey Pond, you'll return to Crab Lake, and then portage back out to the busy Burntside lake from once you started.

During this outting you will carry your canoe and packs over 1,931 rods equaling to over 6 miles. So we would suggest packing as lite as possible, because if you find it will take two trips to carry your gear with you, then your looking at over 18 miles of walking during the weekend trip.

In the interior of this loop the only people you will see are dedicated canoeists.

Walleye, Northern Pike, Lake Trout, Bass and Bluegill can be found all along this loop, with Cummings and Crab lake being the best for Northern Pike, Bass and Bluegill. With Bass and Lake Trout being found in the depths of Burntside Lake.
If your looking for Walleye then head straight for Buck Lake.

Day One

---

Burntside Lake portage 320 rods to Crab Lake portage 20 rods to Little Crab Lake, Lunetta Creek, Lunetta Lake Portage 60 rods toLunetta Creek portage 100 rods to Schlamm Lake portage 20 rods to Glenmore Lake

With over 2 miles of portaging this day besure your physically fit, to be ready for this Loop.
Burntside Lake with over a 100 Islands can be confusing, even for the best Map Readers. Keep count of all the Islands and Bays as you weave through the Lake to the Crab Lake portage.
None of the portages are difficult, only long. Don't be to concerned if campsites are occupied on Crab Lake, but do keep inmind campsites are less frequent between Crab Lake and Buck Lake, only one per lake.

Glenmore Lake portage 195 rods to Western Lake portage 80 rods to Buck Lake portage 480 rods to Cummings Lake

After the 195 rod portage to Western Lake, travel the western shore of the Lake to the northest corner, where you will portage 80 rods into Buck Lake. Paddle on the northeast side of this long, narrow lake (maybe taking a break to try your luck at some walleye for dinner) to the 480 rod portage into Cummings Lake. This portage in mostly flat ground with 16 canoe rest stops along the way.

You will find several nice campsites on the east end of Cummings Lake
