Starting from Kingsmere Lake’s Southend campground (after completing the rail Portage) you can continue along the south-west shore, past the Wardens cabin heading to the north end of the lake. The route can be done in either direction, starting at the Clare Lake Portage or at the Bagwa Channel. It’s a comfortable and flexible route to do with the options of tucking off the big lake and into the smaller sheltered lakes. Both Bagwa and Lilly lakes offer good fishing for pike and walleye. Clare Lake and the Clare Lake Portages may be muddy due to low water levels so be prepared to turn around, or have proper foot wear and lots of bug spray.
There are no motor boats permitted on Bagwa, Lilly and Clare Lakes.
