When we left Elk Lake we didn't know how long it was going to take to the next campsite. At the south end of Elk Lake there is a train tressel which used to carry the train into Elk City. The train ran into Elk Lk from Earlton for the first time in February 1913. The train no longer comes into town.Further down we reached Mountain Lake with a good south wind which made making any time impossible. A few more kilometers later Mountain Chutes, here years ago the ferry from Latchford had to unload passengers and gear for their portage to the next ferry above the rapids and then on to Elk Lake.
We expected to reach a campsite about 8 km down the river but it wasn't there, the best we could do was move along to the next at Indian Lake 5km further on. Luckly it was there as we were just about done in with the heat and the wind, today we paddled 35 km.
