I would guess that the Bdubs and Q has a rather substantial population of snowshoe hares...but they mostly inhabit the swampier, boggier terrain. So unless you are bushwhacked, lost, or both, you're not likely to see them or signs of them during paddling season...when most of your time is on rocky shore lines and all manner of portage trails.

Squirrels? Lots of red squirrels. Gray? Not so much...not enough mast trees to sustain them is my guess.

Beaver? Lots ;)
