| Itinerary: |
Explore the rugged beauty of Massasauga
Provincial
Park.
Massasauga Provincial Park is an archipelago of
islands situated on the eastern shore of Georgian
Bay,
south of Parry Sound, Ontario. The park covers
13,050
hectares of Georgian Bay's shoreline and is
accessible
only by water. Granite outcrops, dotted with wind
sculpted white pines, will set the stage as we
make our
way through the park's small inland lakes and
waterways.
We will drive to Massasauga on Friday morning
( you
will need to take the day off) and start our trip
at the
Three Legged Lake access point. We will canoe to
Spider Lake, where we will set up camp at one of
the
lakeside campsites. On Day 2, we will explore
Georgian Bay where there will be some big open
water paddling and
some narrow water ways with steep cliffs on either
side.
We will paddle back to Three Legged Lake and drive
back
to
Toronto on Sunday.
Trip notes: This is an introductory
level canoe
camping event
suitable for people
with a bit of camping experience and interested in
canoe
tripping.
Paddling will be primarily flatwater on
small
lakes and in relatively protected areas of
Georgian
Bay. Previous paddling experience is helpful, but
not absolutely
necessary.
We will try and pair experienced paddlers with
relatively
inexperienced
people. Overnight
camping experience is helpful, but again not
absolutely
necessary. In this
case, you should be prepared to borrow or rent the
necessary
gear. There
will be a minimum of 3 short portages: 370m, 90m
and 165m.
Dogs allowed,
dog
owners should be prepared to provide their own
transportation.
Trip requirements:
overnight/backcountry/car camping experience,
comfortable
paddling in a canoe for several hours, able to
carry 35lbs plus
along a
portage trail.
If I am not familiar with your
backcountry/paddling background, please enter
details of your experience in the “notes” section
when registering.
UPDATE: Mandatory pre-trip
planning meeting
scheduled for Monday July 19, 7:15pm at
Chalker’s Pub (247 Marlee Ave). At the meeting,
we will decide canoe, gear and food
arrangements.
