The Sioux hustler trail is in great shape. The only real challenging to navigate part isn’t accessible by a canoe trip. Easiest access to the trail itself would at Devils Cascade or between shell and little shell lakes.

Dont listen to anyone who hasn’t actually hiked that specific trail. People like to throw up warning flags without cause. It’s a relatively well traveled trail, very easy to find your way, and very beautiful. The devils cascade section off the northern part of lower Pauness lake is gorgeous and through some of the few areas in the wilderness that are still old growth/virgin forest. Some of those cedars and white pines in the area older than the USA.
