The modified Bow Trip is about 25 miles. While there is shuttling of vehicles involved, it eliminates the 1-1/4 mile portage, and 2 lake crossings.

We start at Holeb Pond landing which is a 15 mile or so trip down dirt roads. This avoids 2 lake paddles and the 1-1/4 mile portage. Once on Holeb Pond, we paddle to the outlet at the Western end. There, we enter Holeb Stream which will take us to the Moose River.

The Moose River twists and turns and eventually takes us to the southern end of Attean. Once on Attean, it's a short paddle across the lake to our vehicles. Depending on our schedule, there's a lot to explore on Attean itself.

While on the river, there are 5 sets of "rips" which can be run, lined, or portaged depending on water level. About mid-way on the river, we come to Holeb Falls. There is a short portage here, but this is one of our camp sites. This is a great place to rest, fish, swim, and sightsee.
