What's a spot that is secluded yet can be canoed in a day? (By day trip, I mean there's a motel or cabin/resort within an hour driving distance.) I know a few secluded spots but you really got to hike for a day to get to them. And I know more popular spots can get quite busy. Any lakes that cover the best of both worlds?

I used to hike the Pow Wow Trail which has some lakes not accessible to canoers. You would have an entire lake to yourself.

Lake Hegman is what comes to mind...daughter was there in September and saw no one.

Usually, anytime after school starts, things get pretty quiet.
The later, the better.

We like to go in late September, early October.

Not as hot
No bugs
Can fish, and hunt grouse

Angleworm Lake, and there's a short portage into Home(?) Lake if you want a little more.  I backpacker around angleworm and did an overnight, not canoeing just packing, at Thanksgiving.  Nice little spot with some nice rock ledge views.  Not that far up the Echo trail.
