I'll reply to Kwpake and xMagnolia.
My plan was to go in on the Ely side. I'll keep that outfitter in mind and check them out further. The plan right now is to go up to Lac La Croix staying on the US side to view the pictographs then bob around that area for a couple days. Come back out and spend a day or two on the Hegman Lakes to view those pictographs.
