That sounds like an awesome trip. I've never paddled there, though I've covered every inch of trail from Dover to Grand Rivers by mountain bike. (they recently opened up the tn side to mtbers).
I don't think you'll find easy access to water without having to filter. There are many backcountry camping spots but only the major campgrounds and welcome stations have water. And I'm not sure if they're open all year.
I think I'd probably do a combination of things for water, but plan on using my filter a lot.
Have fun!
