thanks,

Please excuse my total newbie questions here- for example: Is camping allowed only at designated campsites or can you pick your own site? Any links to regs on campsites? Thanks again, ...

I'm a solid intermediate paddler. Probably 2 people on the trip 1 canoe, possibly a second canoe with 2 other solid paddlers/sw...
