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.

This is going to be a weekend of breathtaking scenery, enjoying the beauty of the Canadian Shield and exploring.

We will drive to Massasauga on Friday morning and make a pit stop to pick up our permit then continue to the Three Legged Lake access point, put in our canoes and head over to to Vicary Lake, where we will set up camp at site #106. After setting up camp we can spend the rest of the day exploring the area around it. The next day we will pack up and spend the next two nights at Speyer Lake site #108

There are several portages on this trip. n meteres...380, 500,90,100,50 and 370. You must be prepeared to carry your shit over these portages and not expect other people to slog your things..So it is important to pack efficiently
