In addition, the water levels are falling pretty rapidly in the creek/river systems that have minimal flow.  For an example, I went in via Garner Lake (up the Garner River) beginning July 10th.  The river had a nice flow at that time and we had no issues with dragging bottom all the way to Haggart Lake.  We exited down the same river on the 19th/20th.  I'd say the water levels had dropped between 6 inches and a foot over that period making for a few lift overs on our exit.  Had the water been a inch or so lower or had we not been traveling in solo canoes which have minimal draft, we'd been out pulling over a few areas.

There was a small forest fire either on the north side of Donald or at some point beyond to the north beginning on the 17th.  We exited the area on the 18th with increased smoke (no visible fire).  I understand from park staff that whatever the cause, it is no longer an active event.  (I'd also say that Donald Lake dropped by about 1 inch while we were there ... and its a BIG LAKE!
