Along the entire route are more than 50 lakes that can be packrafted. Some lake paddle section sections are up to 25 km long. The majority of the lake crossings are oriented in the typical wind direction. We carry a sail that we open on lakes when we have favorable wind and we can recommend such a sail to every packrafter on the GPT. But if the wind if not with you then you may be forced to wait or take an alternative route therefore plan with sufficient reserves when taking the packraft route.

  crossings, downstream floats and even paddling on '''Fjords ====Fjord Packrafting (FJ)'''====  When thru-hiking the entire trail along the regular route in two or three hiking seasons than you need to cross 4 lakes by '''Ferry (FY)''' and you require 3 boat transfers over lakes and rivers. So you cannot walk the entire length of the trail without any non-motorized travel. Even if you opt to packraft the GPT you still need to take at least 3 ferries when attempting a multi-season thru-hike. Some lakes and fjords along the packraft route are simply to fierce for a such a small boat and only a daredevil would throw himself into these potentially suicidal watersbe issued.
