Gary James at gary.james@sympatico.ca [1] or 416-512-6690. Join us once again for this Fall Festival weekend canoe trip. We have booked a group campsite on Big East Lake near Haliburton off of hwy 118. As food is the theme for this trip there is one short portage to the lake. The lake is small in width but big enough to explore for the day. The permit and Saturday dinner, turkey with all the trimmings will be a group effort for the purchasing, and cooking with the cost split between participants. We are limited to 8 tents and 16 people. Please consider sharing a tent on this trip.

Big East Lake parking is located on highway 118 roughly 28 km east of Bracebridge and hwy 11 and 20 km west of Carnarvon and hwy 35. The parking lot is shared with Bentshoe Lake located on the north side. From the parking lot is roughly 200 meter portage trail to the launch or put-in site. Once in the canoe head south west along the north shore line to group campsite # 36. You will pass campsite 39 on the first point, 37 on the second point and ours is on the next point.
