French River Voyageurs Channel Trip – Part 2

Knowing that there might be high winds and waves in the afternoon for Wednesday’s paddle we set our alarm to get up for 5 am. That way we would have an early start and hopefully get most of our paddling complete before the weather made travel difficult. Even though we started that early we did have some challenging water to paddle before we stopped for the night. (Click here to catch up on part 1 if you missed it)

French River Voyageurs Channel Trip – Part 1

Even though we typically like to travel for at least a couple of weeks in the summer, this year it was jut not possible, but we still wanted an epic adventure. So, Dan took a couple of weeks of vacation and we sought out to plan something other than an overnight or weekend adventure. As I scoured through maps and books with different canoe routes to conquer, we settled on heading to the French River and completing a similar loop to one in Kevin Callan’s Top 50 Canoe Routes in Ontario.

Mother-Son Trip to Algonquin- Part 1

Have you ever taken a floaty on a canoe trip? It’s not something you’d normally take on back country trip – I did take a small one on the trip I took for my 40th birthday – but this trip with my son had no portaging, so we brought something a little bigger. What did we bring? Well you will have to continue reading to find out.

Families Paddling Together

It seems as though Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park is the theme for our adventures the last few posts. This park is conveniently close to us and provides some great overnight and day paddling adventures. This adventure took us to a different area of the park with another set of family friends.
