Remember: Pack in Plastic Bags in Anticipation of Wet Canoes and Rain.
Clothes:
Pack your gear with the understanding that the weather at this time of year is highly variable. As always, layers are key: you're responsible for keeping yourself warm and dry and only you know what this requires--anticipate cold and wet conditions!
