Itinerary:

We will drive up to Frontenac Provincial Park on Saturday morning. We will start the trip at Kingsford Dam, which is at the northern edge of the park. The park should be quiet and beautiful this time of year!

We will backpack for 3 days on a route that combines the Tetsmine Lake, Gibson Lake and Hemlock Lake loops. The estimated mileage is 23km. Note that we might do more or less depending on trail conditions, with snow depth being the main factor.

Participants should all have backcountry camping and backpacking experience. Snowshoeing experience is also required, as we will be traveling on snowshoes.

Participants will be required to supply their own equipment i.e. backpacks and be comfortable carrying over 40lbs of weight.

You must be able to attend a pre-meeting that will take place on March 18th at 7:00pm at Chalkers. If you do not attend the pre-meeting, you will not be allowed to participate in the trip.

Required Items to Bring:
We will cover this in detail at the pre-meeting. Key items are snowshoes, a backpack and a winter sleeping bag.
