Mark Walters, outdoor writer for the West Salem, Wisconsin, Coulee News, called this past weekend "another excellent adventure on Porcupine Lake."
Porcupine Lake is a small body of water within the Porcupine Lake Wilderness of the Chequamegon National Forest. This is a designated wilderness, which means that it is not managed for timber or any human uses. No motorized, or even wheeled vehicles are allowed.
Walters was there, taking his 9-year-old daughter, Selina, on her first backpacking trip. He has been traveling to Porcupine Lake since 1991 when he began a career as an outdoor writer. But being there with his daughter was the best ever. They bought snorkel gear, and explored the lake below the surface. They cooked over a campfire, and played with their dogs.
Over the years, he estimates that he's spent 50 or 60 nights camping on the North Country Trail in the Chequamegon National Forest.
