You can take the towab trail to the falls. From the lower falls, there is an unmarked trail to the tracks, then you can take the tracks to the park, then take the rope and ladder tail to black beaver lake, then take quad trails all the way to the lost bush plane lake.

If you bushwhack to Kawagama Hill from the falls, you are looking at 2 days one way with experienced navigators, including a river swim. The closest river crossing is the train trestle 1.3 miles south of the park.

There are unmarked trails and quad trails all the way to the unnamed lake. Then there it is a days bushwhack from the nearest trail to Kawagama Hill. If you only have three days, you will kill yourself bushwhacking the route and find yourself very late for your train. 50 meters in 45 minutes, that is pretty much how bushwhacking can be like up there.

By the way, remember the trains only run certain directions certain days, the tour train will only let you eat on the diner car, they WILL NOT allow you on as a passenger. You have to take the "passenger" train.

I hope that helps, and I hope you have fun, it is a great area.
