Long Lake to Cox Lake

Technical Guide: Long Lake Road off Hwy 28 north of Woodview Southwest through Long Lake and Loucks Lake P 133 m into small pond P 30 m into Cox Lake Camp on Cox Lake Return via same route Trip Journal/Log/Report/Diary: Ask at the office at the beginning of Long Lake whether the water is high enough to paddle into Cox. If there`s been enough rain recently, you may not need to portage. Continue into Loucks when you`ve paddled down Long, but you`ll want to go farther to get past cottages. Clamber, paddle, or haul yourself through the "Rocks of Wrath" and the "Swamp of Despair", wearing suitable water shoes. We did this with three generations of family, aged 8 to 70, so it`s not as bad as it sounds. Cox is a small but pretty lake.
