Our group of 5 will be putting in at Stanton on 9/2 and are planning the following route;
Pickerel,B-chain, Fern, Olifaunt, Sturgeon, Russell (Chatterton, Keats, McDougall area), Antoine, Deux Riveries, Twin, Dore, Pickerel. B-Chain to Olifaunt and Deux R. may be reversed or eliminated depending on water levels. We may also try heading through Camel and Cutty Creek but previous posts on water levels there, Jimbo's encounter with the Canadian Navy :-/ using that area for training exercises, and our desire to spend as much time as possible fishing may not allow for that endevour.

Hopefully we will have limited encounters with other travelers but if so, may they be users of this site. Let me know if you will be in that area of the park in that timeframe. I would enjoy meeting fellow QJ'ers.

I would appreciate any input you may have on the route and any/all suggestions. Thanks for the replies to the Sturgeon/Russell chute. I look forward to paddling through there and the information provided will be helpfull. No staircase portage if at all possible.

Thanks in advance!
