I have been into Shoshone around eight times in a canoe. Going in a canoe is a chore for sure but it can be a blast too. From Lewis Lake, depending on the winds, you will need to plan on 7-8 hours to get to your campsite (make sure you make reservations for your site in advance or you may get turned away because they are full). Once you get up Lewis River to Shoshone Lake you may need to wait out the wind before proceeding, which will add to your time. If your camp site is across the lake do not attempt to cross anywhere but at the narrows and again you may need to wait out the wind to cross. Before you venture out on your own, do lots of research, talk to as many people as you can who have been. You may want to consider going with someone who has made the trip before and knows the ropes. I hope you get to go and I hope you have a blast.
