I met a group of junior rangers on Mc Dougall Lake this summer.  They were in the process of documenting with GPS every campsite in Quetico.  My impression from talking with them is that there will eventually be designated campsites in Quetico.

Arctic,

Do you know from what base they were starting, Legacy Forest GIS, etc?  Many of us have knowledge of camp sites that are not on any maps and aren't on the Legacy Forest database.  Seems like the task would take many years and lots of searching and verification to actually log all of the "established" campsites.  

I know of several sites not on any map or the Legacy Forest database. I also have a few choice sites off the beaten path that are not recognizable from the lake or even from the shore.  Only way you would find them is if you see a canoe at shore, or see people occupying it.  And they don't get much use because of this.

I guess I find that task exceedingly difficult and lengthy.  However, I would be happy to be on the ranger team!:) :) :)
