Pictured Rocks Chapel Rock to Mosquito River Group Sites Route Advice

We're taking a group of scouts to hike Pictured Rocks in the beginning of July.

I'm looking at the itinerary and the one place I have some uncertainty is the route from Coves to the Mosquito River group site.

When we get to Chapel Rock it looks like we can do one of three things:

A: Take the north fork and stay along the lakeshore. That's about 4.5 miles from the fork to the group site.

B: Take the second fork inland at Chapel Beach and hike along the north side of Chapel Lake This is probably ~4.4 miles to the group site.

C: Take the south fork at Chapel Rock and hike along the south side of Chapel Lake, hitting Chapel Falls along the way.

If we do B or C, then we'll come to another Fork where we can either B1/C1 and hike north of the river directly into Mosquito River or B2/C2 and go south of the river and cross at Mosquito Falls then hike directly into the group site (which is where we need to end up).

Anybody hiked them all and have any recommendations?
