We paddled across calm waters and basked in the warm sun.  When we finally made it to Curtain Falls it was amazing.  The water was raging out of Crooked lake over the top of the falls pounding its way down into Iron Lake.  Mat and Jim did a little fishing in the fast water below the falls while Erin and I did a little swimming at the top of the falls.  It felt so nice to cool off on such a hot day.  We found a nice little pool on the edge of the falls that had water boiling into it without the danger of being swept over.  If you sit in one side it feels like you are sitting in a jacuzzi tub.  If you ever get the chance to stop by Curtain Falls you won’t be disappointed.

As far as fishing goes…. Jim was able to pull in a nice sized northern pike.  He not only shows off his stellar fishing abilities but also takes the time to give us a step by step on how to remove the “Y” bones out of the the northern and cook up a tasty meal.

We had a great time paddling through crooked lake.  If you get the chance we really recommend taking the time to get out there.  As Jim said there are some pretty big fish swimming around in there.  If your into fishing for fun or for dinner its a great place to drop a line in the water.

We spent about an hour viewing the area with Jim giving us a little of the history on the area.  With no place to stand below the pictographs I wonder if they were done in the winter time when the artist would be able to stand on the ice to create these images.  The only other way I can imagine it working is if they were done on a very calm morning.

The combination of the cliffs dropping into the water and the images from so long ago really drive home the fact that you are not the first person to see these sights and that the voyagers so long ago must have stopped and gazed at these same sights.
