Backpack to Lake Lovely Water

09/03/16

The experience is unbelievable. Half our group hiked, while the other half helicoptered in with all the gear (Black Tusk Heli was awesome and reasonably priced). Staying in the cabin was comfortable and cozy at night with everyone. You really don't need to bring any cooking utensils, it's all there. Having access to the canoes (if you pay for the cabin) is another huge perk. You can go for a leisurely paddle or access more hiking routes that are breathtaking. Hiking down was a bit tough on the body (and that was without the packs). We arranged for Jetboat Jay to come get us. His wife arrived on time and with a canoe (which was a cool experience paddling across) and cold beers. What an ending! We thought they were lovely people and got some great insight on some other neat places to hike in the area that you wouldn't really know about. Everything about the trip was worth it, spending the money on the cabin, transportation and strong bug spray ;)
