Whitewater

Lake Travers to Lake McManus.  Popular white water run and very beautiful. Located in the north east corner of Algonquin Park.

Lots of information about this route online.  I put it down as intermediate but a competent flat water paddler making use of the portages would be fine.

Itinerary
Itinerary description

I will leave in decent time Friday morning.  Take out Sunday afternoon.

This is maybe a bit more rushed than I want.  If work seems to be going well and the weather is nice I might stay Sunday night too.

Required Items to Bring

Whiter water gear, helmets, flotation, depending on the weather maybe dry suits or wetsuits.  I will make a spreadsheet if folks sign up.

Camping gear for backcountry.

A sense of gratitude for the holiday.

 

Recommended Items to Bring

Warm clothes, calories, your camping chair.

If a few people are coming it would be nice to have a potluck turkey dinner.

Giant Toblerone.
