Was the river current from Lac Camitogama to Dozois with or against you?
With us, not strong.

How grassy/zen was this portion?
Very zen. Sections had deep water others were shallow with grasses waving in the current. The shore was wooded, then it was marshy, then wooded again. Two portages, first on the right and marked and well-maintained, second on the left, unmarked and we missed it and instead took a very short hop over some flat rocks.

Did you go through lac Alene or Lac Draisine?
We passed by Lac Alene, which is a swamp.
Never noticed Draisine.

Where did you enter back into Cawatose from?
Im assuming you used Topo Maps, updated with the ones at le domaine... none had campsites on Dozois?
I used the on-line mapping program, Caltopo. You can view my map and route, which I printed, here:
https://caltopo.com/m/5FLE. We scrutinized it and the shoreline did not look camper friendly from the mouth of the River until the gigantic sand bar due north of tiny Lac Oublié. There was a LOT of motor boat traffic back and forth there.
You can see from my map where we returned to Circuit 37. The portage out of Dozois was rough with considerable blowdown and it was grown in tight. Others here said they were able to line their boats up the drainage.
