Tangle Lakes is the beginning area for the Delta River. The lakes are accessible (above the road and below) via parking sites and camping areas. The lower and upper lakes (connected by the Tangle River) are accessible by various types of boats but are most frequently used by canoes and kayaks. The only exception to this is on the 4th of July and in Moose hunting season, when you may see several powerboats. The most common trip I run through the Tangle Lakes area is a 3 day canoe trip, (can be compressed into 2 or expanded as desired) which takes you out of the area accessible to powerboaters and into great fishing grounds. The most common fish caught are of course Arctic Grayling but there is good Lake trout fishing early in the season (and sometimes later). The Grayling fishery has been listed in several places as the Greatest in the World.
For accessing the Grayling it is usually best to take the rapids (portaging around the falls of course) and find the remote river areas that are much less frequented.
The portage is 2 quarter mile sections (separated by a beaver pond) over an improved but still somewhat difficult trail, so remember that all gear will be carried 1/2 mile. The rapids after the portage are class III at high water but later in the year are almost always class II to II+. Drybags and waders are recommended for this section.
