Gunflint Trail (north shore/grand marais) TT free camping?
Can anyone tell me if there are any free camping spots along the Gunflint trail out of Grand Marais? Or are the camp grounds the only choice? Thanks

Black spruce bogs, black spruce swamp, tamarack swamp, alder swamp, beaver marshes, wet meadows. Many lakes in the BWCA have a black spruce swamp on one end of them.
You've been to the Boundary Waters many times and have never seen these?
Sure I remember.. But portages never started or ended in one.. I don't consider them swamps if they are part of a lake.
When robbiesgram said "The Gunflight is very heavily wooded and has miles and miles of swamp. Think heavy black fly, gnat and mosquito infestations during July and August. We have been in Grand Marais in July & people were leaving the Gunflint due to flys being so bad."
I immediately remembered returning from a two week solo trip in the BW where you couldn't see my back bone after thousands of bites due to the swelling.
