As I was up late last night posting I forgot to mention a good resource for your research. Canadian Canoe Routes is the premier site and forum for canoeing in Canada. I am sure you will find lots of information there that will be of interest. With just a quick look I found a thread on Canoeing...

Hi, I was born in Scotland, raised in Canada, live northwest of Toronto and I’m new to BCUK. September is a great time to vist Ontario and Algonquin Park. Spring is the main season for mosquitoes and blackflies so you should have very little to worry about. If you want to be 100% certain...
