I've heard this year was among the most epic biting bug years in decades. A recent (and really great) YouTube video on the Lost Lakes channel from late June seems to corroborate the reports.
My friend and I are heading out to the heart of the park late next week and wondering if anyone can report on the more current status.
I see nighttime temps in the 40's, so I'm optimistic!
Yes, the bug season is mostly over. We were in Wab 8/5-13 and bugs were not overly abundant. Even the night we spent in a make shift camp in a bushy area wasn't too bad. (Make shift campsite: 50.384728, -90.273521)
