Do it: Tale of two Brules

Yes, it is only April, but the rivers are flowing and most of the lakes are open. You could paddle Wisconsin’s Brule River if you wanted to (http://dnr.wi.gov/org/land/parks/regions/nr/brule.html#river). Or you could paddle Brule Lake in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The quota system for BWCAW camping hasn’t started yet, so you can just write yourself a permit at the landing. (Go to www. http://fs.usda.gov/superior)
