Making my first Quetico entry from the north. Plan to paddle the B Lakes to Russell. Worried a bit about having too many folks around near Chatterton Falls. How busy do Chatterton/Keats/McDougals get in August? Worth the extra paddle to stay there?

Every time I've been on Russell, which is was in early May, there were people either passing thru at the Chatterton Falls or camping close to them.

I have to think in August it would get even more attention. Russell for it's size doesn't have many campsites. Because of the falls you get a lot on people there. Worth the paddle but be prepared to camp in a less than optimum spot IF you hit traffic?

  I did the B-Lakes on this trip. You might glean some info from my experience there?
