I'm assuming that you'll be starting out from Anstruther Lake then to Rathbun and then Copper Lake? Depending on what type of canoe you're using and how hard you paddle, you can probably get up to Rathbun in about 3-4 hours and another 3-4 to get to Copper. There's a 150m up hill portage at the north end of Anstruther to Rathbun, a 200m portgage along an ATV trail near the opening of Anstruther Creek and another 350m portage, again along an ATV trail at about the half way point to Copper Lake. There are campsites on the islands in the middle of Rathbun, you might want to set up camp there for a night. I hope this helps.
