Itinerary

Itinerary description:

Up early Monday morning to make the 4-5 hr drive.

Monday 25th night on George. George Lake is our put-in so it will be a short paddle.

Tuesday 26/Wednesday 27 nights on Killarney. From George Lake to Freeland Lake (80m portage) from Freeland to Killarney (380m). 6 to 9 km depending. On the second day on Killarney I would like to hike The Crack: http://www.ontariohighpoints.com/the-crack/ We can leave our canoes just at the long portage into Kakakise and walk the 1440m portage and enter the trail at Kakakise. Think it will be about 1.8k to the top from Kakakise Creek.

Thursay 28 on OSA!!! This lake is BEAUTIFUL. I do have it booked till the Saturday but am thinking of coming back on the Friday unless I have more people interested that would like to stay that extra night. Only a 130m portage from Killarney. We could go explore Muriel! Suppose to be beautiful there as well. Swimming. Reading. Taking in the beauty of this lake. Paddle around it. Up early early on Friday (or Saturday) morning for a approx 10k paddle back to George Lake.

Required Items to Bring:

We will be responsible for our own breakfast and lunches and each person I think will do one communal meal. Dinners will be communal and perhaps a breakfast depending.

Your camping gear.
