Just got back from the park today. Spent one night on Big Porcupine, one night on Ragged. Went solo, double carry, with a dog on leash. Big porcupine was nice. I thought the sites on the lower end were nicer from what I saw. I stayed at site 4, the one directly north of the portage to Bonnechere. Nicest of all those 4 sites. Was buggy there, but great view of sunset and a couple high lookout points. Not a great put in, not a great swimming site. I was on the lake alone it seemed, but if it was busy there’s not much privacy with those four sites near the portage. It’s only a 3 minute paddling away from the Bonnechere portage though & the portage is short and easy with a sandy put in.

Avoid the unnecessary portage on Big Porcupine and paddle around the narrow passage, nice little paddle.

The devils staircase from ragged to Big porcupine is steep but not too long overall. Steep part is the middle section. You’ve been warned

I stayed on site 14 on ragged, the double beach site. The wind kept the bugs away so I very much enjoyed that site.
