It was less smoky up in the higher area forests near McConnell Lake on an exploratory 1.7 hr. hike and geocaching outing. 
Outer Inks
White Lake
Community Lake
Six Mile Lakes
By using the website firesmoke.ca, I was able to determine that the area with the least smoke was near Savona and so I drove west and decided to hike in the Six Mile Lakes area. Blue skies over dry hills awaited, so I decided to hike around Pat Lake and then over to Morgan Lake, and then back on a partial loop route. 
Glimpse Lake
Using firesmoke.ca I determined that the only place not in smoky skies in mid-late morning was the area near Douglas Lake, so I drove south, then up into the hills to kayak Glimpse Lake. Once around the lake took about 75″.
