Anyone happened to have paddled Muskeg Creek before - between Pipestone Bay and Muskeg Lake? 

I'm considering that as part of my route in June..but have found myself in "dwindling to trickle" creeks before, and would rather not repeat that if someone has had experience here -

Seagull Outfitters seems to think it's passable.

There are two Muskeg Lakes. I believe the OP is referring to this one - Muskeg by Ella Hall.

I've never been on it or heard of anyone trying, but from the satellite photos it appears that the northern portion would be passable while the southern portion would be more difficult.

Thanks, Ben...and Yes. I can see confusion here, but it IS Muskeg close to Ella Hall. I was eyeing those satellite photos as well, and it looks fairly promising, especially if the water levels are up, but when you zoom in to closest resolution (and in Fall I'm guessing), that creek sure does disappear! LOL!! Worst case, I'd have a long scenic day before I backtrack out if it chokes down.
