Has anyone been on Kawnipi the last two weeks of August (prior to Labor Day)? If so, how busy was the lake? I know the lake is a faily popular destination, but the park is usually a little quieter that time of year b.c of school etc.

Thanks in advance!

I can't say that I've ever been on Kawnipi and felt it was crowded.

We were there in July a couple years ago. I think we saw three canoes in two days. Going in late August wil keep you from having to experience such heavy traffic. ;-)

Ha ha ha, so I guess I was creating more people on the lake than I thought there would be. good to know!

I've experienced such heavy traffic on other large Q lakes.

I spent two days paddling the entire length of Quetico Lake in June and saw nobody. It was really strange. On a popular lake during a popular season, you would think there would be at least someone out there. Perhaps they were just an hour ahead or an hour behind me the whole time.
