Thanks for your thoughtful reply rgcmce- it's much appreciated.  As for skill level, my wife is a great canoeist (canoer?) and while my J-stroke is not the best, I can paddle from the bow pretty well.  This is our 4th year going with kids- last year we did a loop of Canoe--> Burnt Island --> Sunbeam --> Tom Thomson --> Canoe over 4 days.  There were a lot of small portages that we did in the rain, similar to the route over the Cascades I believe. 

Any further thoughts on the route given the above info would be great.  Thanks again.

Hi-

I'm planning a 4 day trip through Barron Canyon, with two nights spent on Stratton and one night on one of the campsites listed as "Cascades - Barron River." I haven't been able to find any information or pictures of those two sites. Has anyone had any experience with them? We're going with a 9-year old and a 5-year old, so I was a bit worried about booking sites on the Barron River or Brigham Lake given the number of portages necessary to get there within a day. Am I better off staying at the Cascades sites, or changing the reservation to Barron/Brigham Lake for that last night? Thanks.
