May 2-4 Shenanigans: Part 2 Bon Echo

The plan for Sunday was to go paddling in Bon Echo Provincial park, but the weather forecast was not looking very promising with a high chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Nonetheless, we decided to take our chances and get up early to beat the rain, so we were up and out of the house by 8:00 and arrived at the park just after 10:00. After taking a wrong turn into the campground, we found our way to the river where we launched our canoe and started paddling out to the cliffs.

Ice Out 2019!

I can’t officially say that the ice is out in ALL of Ontario, but down in our little section of it we are officially ice free. Of course that means it is time to get our canoe out for her first paddle of the year. She had been waiting patiently in our garage for the water to be soft for a very long time.

2019 Ontario Backcountry Canoe Symposium

Keep reading for my take on all the speakers and sponsors who made this such a great day.

Big East Overnight Trip

As the 2018 canoeing season was nearing it’s end, we really wanted to get out in our canoe at least one more time and after some consideration, we decided that it was time to visit an area that is fairly new to us. In the spring I had headed to the Haliburton Highland Water Trails for a solo trip and I knew that we should come back to this park, so we booked a night on Big East.
