Cedar River Flow

The Cedar River Flow is a remote 640-acre (2.6 km2) shallow lake, created by the Wakely Dam, where there are 10 campsites accessible via a gravel road, 14 miles (23 km) from Indian Lake or 23 miles (37 km) from Inlet. This area is also known as the Cedar River Entrance, and beyond it is the 150 campsites of Moose River Plains.

More campsites are accessible via canoe, around the Flow. It lies on the border between the Moose River Plains Wild Forest and the West Canada Lake Wilderness Area.

You can paddle up the Cedar River, above Cedar River Flow to the first Lean-To. Shortly thereafter, water levels are too low for paddling.

75 years earlier if you were to go to Wakely Dam, the Cedar River Flow would look somewhat different as the original dam was about eleven feet higher, flooding a bit more of the surrounding land. They're also would have been several more buildings and shanties where the Gould Paper Company had their operations for this portion of Moose River Plains, and a larger cleared area. But overall, the Wakely Dam areas hasn't changed that dramatically over the years.

I could look at this view all day long... it was just a day trip to Moose River Plains, but I wish I had much more time up there.
