Great explorations!
"3/Quetico to No Name via creek." -- Is that the creek to the first of 3 no-names north of the main E-W arm of Quetico?
What dates were you in?
Thanks for sharing! --Goose

Here are the results of my exploration:
1/Cirrus Creek to No Name was impassable.

2/Sly Creek to Sly Lake was navigable for 1 1/2 miles to the end of the bog where creek narrows with alders- still a 1/2 mile to lake. There is a 3 1/2 foot beaver dam which helped.

3/Quetico to No Name via creek. I gave up after 1/2 mile and took portage and caught 5 large mouth bass.

4/Robin Creek is navigable for about 500 yards until rapids.

5/Conk to No Name west of Conk was navigable.

6/Ceph to Burntside was navigable.

7/Burnside to Albert had 5 small beaver dams in first 100 yards so I gave up.

8/Rouge to No Name was not explored.

9/Sturgeon to Walsh was navigable for about 1/2 mile.

10/Tubman Creek to Maxness is makable with two short portages.

11/Allan Creek was navagable for a couple of miles in lower part but after second long portage water ran out.

12/Creek to Berniece was not possible because of Allan.

13/Creeks to Ram and Antoine were navigable.

14/Stanton Bay to Stanton Lake was impassable.

I'm very surprised that the creeks to Ram and Antoine were navigable.

I'm also curious about the creeks to Ram and Antoine...what does "navigable" mean...paddling straight through, some liftovers, lining, etc??
