Course Information:

The 14-mile canoe route follows the historic "Pike Bay Connection" used for centuries by Native Americans and explorers Zebulon Pike, Joseph Nicollet, Lewis Cass, and Henry Schoolcraft in the 1800s. Once across Pike Bay, participants continue south paddling eight lakes, two small channels, a 3/4 mile meandering weedy creek, and a short upstream section of river. There are six flat, well maintained portages (1.8 miles). Take-out points and other areas along the route will be marked. Bring a compass. A map will be provided. Navigation skills and common sense are required. The canoe route ends at the DNR Omega Recreation Area on the NE shore of Steamboat Lake. At Omega, participants switch from paddling to peddling. The 27-mile mountain bike route follows forest roads and trails through the Chippewa National Forest to the Mi-Ge-Zi trail that takes you back to the Cass Lake MN Dot Rest Area. The 7-mile run follows the southeast shoreline of Cass Lake and passes pristine Strawberry Lake, finishing at the Chippewa National Campground - offering excellent camping accomodations for all ages.
