Hey all going to be in park July 8-13 and wondering how the bugs are. Only ever gone in the fall and there are none then.

Thanks.

I found by the end of the weekend, the blackflies were all but finally gone(whew!), and the skeeters could be fierce at times. Deerflies, horsefliess, and those darn stable flies are all out. Shorter portages, lots of bug juice and camping on larger lakes with exposed points will keep the bug level to a minimum, but yeah the skeeters can be bad at times.
I guess it really depends on where you go Really, Bo Knows reported no problems with bugs down in the Sec lake region of The Park.

I second that.

In fact, I'd go a step further. At times the above mentioned bugs were annoying, and I did get a few bites, but nothing like I was expecting. Not once did I put my bug gear on, and after the first day all I used was "Off Skin Tastic" which was just fine at keeping the bugs off me. We did have a wind though much of the time. The worst times were under the tarps, where, protected by the wind, the skeeters seemed to flourish.

All in all, not that bad though.
