Join us once again for this Fall Festival weekend canoe trip. We have booked a group campsite on Bentshoe Lakes near Haliburton off of hwy 118. Gourmet food is the theme for this trip and there is one short portage to the lake. The lake is small but has connecting lakes to explore for the weekend. The permit and Saturday dinner, cooking will be split between participants. Trash Can Turkey with all the trimmings will be a group effort. Permit restrictions limit us to 8 tents and 16 people. Please consider sharing a tent on this trip. Therefore members willing to sharing tents will be considered first.
