The Swan Lake Canoe trail leads paddlers through very remote and rugged wilderness terrain and provides endless paddling trip options. The canoe trail can be accessed from two points off of Swan Lake Road. This paddling trip starts at the east entrance right off the highway and Portage Lakes and follows a chain of lakes to Konchanee Lake. The canoe trail also continues off of Swan Lake to other lakes so be sure to reference a canoe trail map if exploring other lakes. The trail also continues to the west eventually leading back to the west entrance providing the option of a long one-way trip. The area is very scenic with lots of wildlife but is not heavily visited due to rugged conditions and lots of bugs. The trip requires lots of portages and experience in the backcountry and is not a good option for beginner paddlers with no experience.
