6 day canoe trip starting and ending where Highway 69 crosses the French River. This trip is intended for enthusiastic photographers who will bring their interchangeable lens camera to capture stunning photos and videos of Canada's First Heritage River. Basic route is a figure 8 around Merranger's Island and French River Island - including a bit of paddling along the shore of Georgian Bay.
This very popular annual trip seems to be a great draw for all levels of paddlers. We are now into the 13th year doing this and we’ve enjoyed perfect weather (most times), portage free paddling, and a social barbeque that has followed our outing. This is a wonderful day to enjoy an easy moving water river and to socialize with other WCA’ers. The trip will start in south Cambridge where we will put in and then paddle to Paris. We will pass through scenic farm country, stop at a haunted mill, negotiate some easy grade one water, and stop for lunch along the way. Those interested are welcome to join us back at our house in Cambridge for some food, beverage, and social time.
Gary James and I will organize this.
It is about a 4-5 hour paddle with probably no chance to get out to go to bathroom, depending on the waterlevel
I did it only once, and i loved the fact we paddled through the Forest and the corn field.
Had a great time
THE BIG CHANGE THIS YEAR IS THAT YOU NEED TO PURCHASE A PARKING PERMIT ONLINE BEFORE YOU GO - SEE DETAILED DESCRIPTION UNDERNEATH
So i'm in charge, but I am depending on Gary James to help me
PLEASE SIGN UP ONLINE!!!!!!
I would like to explore Quetico
We are entering definitely from the Canadian site, either Beaver house or Stanton Bay.
Sites i would like to visit is pictographs on Quetico lake, Chatterton Falls and maybe Louisa Falls. And hopefully some historically sites where the fur traders and the loggers came by.
Agnes Lake, Man Chain, Falls chain due to their Historical value are also high on the list
I have changed the difficulty rating to Intermediate, due to the remote places we are going. So experience in the outdoors is a definitely must. As it is working as a team is of high importance for this trip.
Trip is filling up with committed people. I realize it is still a long way away. But we need to start more detailed planning as a team.
Maybe you have heard or read about it.
to celebrate 150 years Canada, on June 25th, we want to celebrate 150 canoes on Canoe Lake.
see facebook page150 for 150 or at http://www.150for150.com
I have a booked a site for 2 nights prior to this event
And want to make it a lazy, exploring fun weekend.
Who wants to join me.
