Solo Tripping in Kawartha

It seems like Kawartha will see a lot of me this year. From our day paddling trip in May, to a solo trip a few weekends ago, to plans in the future to head out as a family, Kawartha is the place to be right now for me. With the opening of back country camping I knew I was heading out somewhere, I didn’t care where, but somewhere. I picked Kawartha as I am familiar with it, plus it is close and I knew exactly where I wanted to go. The boys did not join me on this trip as the bugs were expected to be bad and I seem to tolerate the bugs more than them.

Hot Tenting at Sucker Lake

Have you ever been to Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park? If you follow this blog you’d know that during the summer my family and I frequent this park and are quite familiar with some of it’s canoeing routes. However, we have never been there during the winter, so this past weekend Christina and I headed there to go hot tenting.

Long Lake Canoe Trip in Kawartha Highlands

September is probably one of our favorite times to go tripping since the days are warm, the nights are cool and there are minimal bugs. Again I was watching the Ontario Parks reservation site and almost didn’t plan this trip. Why you ask? Keep reading.

Mother and Son Overnight to Buzzard Lake – Part 2

As I left off in Part 1, Hayden decided to play a trick on me by pretending to be a bear outside the tent. It didn’t work as I knew he was fooling around…. but then I fell asleep.
