Flatwater

We will be exploring Go Home Lake and islands around the outlet into Georgian Bay.
We will be covering 20-25 km a day on flat water at around 5 km/hr. Approx 45 km total.
There are a few falls that we will be portaging around. Generally 50-200 meters in length.

Part of the planned route is to honor Mr. Mike Naughton (founder of the Five Winds Back Country Ski Club) and spread some of his ashes at some special places he has selected (Gray Rapids and King Bay).
The Five Winds back country ski club website has some background info.
