Witchopple Lake

Three and a half hiking miles from Stillwater on the historic and interesting Red Horse trail, this remote lake is historically significant to Rap-Shaw as one of the original sites of the camp. People arrived by train at Beaver River, crossed the river ( the impoundment was smaller) and hiked in for fishing and hunting.

Joli's Excellent Crossing

We spent a glorious day walking from Trout pond on Stillwater past Salmon to Witchopple on the Red Horse trail, seven miles round trip. 
Both spans of this bridge are broken; one set is now resting on a rock underwater. Crossing requires stepping across the break in the water. Joli, never the best at proprioception, accepted the task and ever-so-carefully walked across, without urging and with no missteps. Such a game puppy!
