How hard is it to get to Lake Sappho, SBS?
Given that my back doesn't go well with kayaking, and The Boat no longer drops people off, I've been looking for reasonable alternatives. I've been told not to bother because of the awful scrub - so I'm not finding it easy to find people to attempt it with me. Looking for someone with a boat...

I didn't find it scrubby between St Clair Lagoon and Sappho/Rim. Plenty of pads and open leads. Lot of dodge and weave, and the terrain between Sappho and Rim in particular is awkward so you need to be careful with navigation, but scrub wasn't the problem. Bit of ferny country lower down but that didn't last long.
Supposedly a better route from one of the forestry roads further east also, but I started from the dam.

You can get to Travellers Rest Lake via forestry roads and a good track, from Travellers Rest we had a mixed bag of scrub and easy stuff between TRL & Sappho, our alternate route back was worse than our inward route. Walking between Sappho and Rim was a complete delight the whole way! Between Rim and Ida there's some pads and a bit of scrub, not too bad.
