Thanks for the great info Bonnie! Sounds like you had a good trip. I have heard some rumblings about that wind farm project, it would sure be a shame if it went in!

Had a chance to hike the Mt Gwynne portion this September. 2 ladies and 4 dogs. The drive into Worthington Bay requires a high clearance vehicle and or park and walk another 3 km in to the bay. The shore of the bay is an absolute delight. Be sure to stay and enjoy the wave action. Found the pictographs with the help from some guys on quads who were working in the area on a wind farm project!? The climb to the top of Mt Gwynne is worth it. 360 degrees views of the Slate Islands to the SE, Rossport Is in the W; Schrieber in the NW and Terrace Bay in the NE. What a view on a clear day, like we had.
Not many spots for water for the dogs on this section of the Casque Isle trail so bring along extra water for the pets. Came across an old cabin near Fourth lake and a lot of moose tracks. Cool suspension bridge just before the trail end at Schrieber beach.

Beautiful Historic area! We need to raise awareness to protect
Worthington Bay and Mt. Gwynne!
Strike Minerals Inc. has gold strike claims starting December 2010 35km sq
If they find enough they willl start to mine thus destroying the precious habitat!
Also they will put up gates and will make sure us nature lovers will never be able to explore and enjoy the area!
North shore is a very precious area we need to all get together to protect it!
