I haven't paddled the Boundary Waters since my honeymoon nearly ten years ago, mostly because of a bad back that limits portaging. But even 15 years ago the only way to find an unoccupied campsite during popular times of year was to cross several portages -- the longer the better. So I've never kayaked the Boundary Waters. If I did, I would choose either early May or October, and I would choose Saganaga, Lake One, or the Moose Lake chain, none of which require portaging, if you don't want to go far. If you take two or three short portages on the numbered lakes chain, though, you can go as far as Hudson Lake.
