Thank you for all of the valuable information.

If the water is unusually high for late July I think I will reverse the loop and go through Badwater and end going down the Namakan River. I don't expect that the water will be too high this time of year, but hey, who knows with weather? I'm in Thunder Bay and the bush is as dry as I've ever seen it for this time of year. I don't think we have had one Spring shower and the moisture from the little snow we had is all but gone. Looks like a very bad forest fire season in the making.

Could any of you that have been through the area tell me what logging artifacts are along the Bearpelt that are worth checking out and where I might find them. That is one of the reasons I chose this route... rapids and falls on the rivers, interesting artifacts and amazing pictos on Quetico. I like trips that have nice scenery and natural beauty mixed with interesting artifacts from our past... who doesn't, eh?

Thanks again for all of your help thus far.
