Couple times in at LIS.....but never directly to Lynx. Twice, we ate lunch at Devils Cascade on our way to Loon....so Im guessing 4-5 hours to there. Also came out from Hustler through Lynx to LIS ep and we were back in town for a late lunch. I can check my journals for times but I'm gonna so 5 hours for you....6 to be safe?

egknuti: "It usually takes me (double portaging) about 3 1/2 hours to Shell. Maybe an additional hour to Lynx."
3 hrs and 40 for us to Shell's western shore in 2013, including loading and unloading at the major-sized beaver pond along the Pauness-Shell portage. Is that still a thing?

rechecked my journals. My times were slightly inflated. Little less than 3 to Devils Cascade and looks like we came out from Hustler in 5 hours. Lynx should be about 4.5 I would say and looks to be for others.

The beaver dam blew out a few years ago and I was able to walk the entire portage, but last year it was back!

That's amazing. When we went through there in 2018, it was at least shoulder deep before I turned around and decided we better load up the canoe, and paddle across.

2 of us in our mid 60's exited from Lynx to LIS north last year. Took about 5.5 hours with a stop for lunch. And if you are going to Lynx you I recommend going to Heritage as well.

Last year coming out I planned to stay on Upper Pauness. I was able to get one of the last sites. A not very good one. No trees for shade or to hang a tarp.
There was a resident grouse who hung around. I forgot to zip up my tent when I went out for a paddle and the grouse was in my tent!
A pair of snapping turtles were also getting busy in the shallows.
FYI - A fair number of people use upper and lower Pauness as their destination lake.

moray: "Thanks again everyone. I’m thinking I might move to one of the Pauness lakes the day before exit. I have to be at MSP by 6 pm and I don’t want to rush on my way out."
I would go with this plan, personally.
Then again, I’m really slow. But the portage with the beaver dam (with or without water) slows me down.

I snapped a bending branches paddle in half trying to get across that puddle. It was too deep to walk and to shallow to paddle thru. Needed a hack craft bush fix with gorilla tape to put the paddle back together and keep going. That was kind of a hassle, for whatever reason this was not one of my fav ways to get into the BW. It was kind of boring, we camped on Shell and it was a lot of traffic too.
Anyhoo, have fun, Lynx is a step beyond and might offer more solitude. We checked it out, seemed quiet over there.
