please regularily check your junk/spam boxes for messages from me or TOC regarding this trip. It seems that everytime I send out an email through the TOC site it goes straight to junk mail

This trip is for strong paddlers and spring campers

I will be leading a beginner trip at a week before

On Friday morning we will drive up, and meet at the Head Lake Trailer Park put in point..From there two drivers will head to the Devil's Lake access point to prepare a shuttle. From the put in we will paddle across Head Lake to Fishhog up through Round Lake to Long Lake eventually grabbing a camp at Crooked Lake. For Saturday Saturday will consist of a day trip jumping numerous beaver dams and four portages(combined total less than 1km) to get into Victoria Lake for where we will set upo camp once again. From there we can check out Wolf Lake or a section of the Ganaraska Trail before heading back to camp. On Sunday morning we will leave camp at 10 am to start our way towards the Devils lake access pointit should take about 4 hours .Once we get there we'll shuttle back to the cars back to the cars then on to a local eatery to have a meal and sort out shared costs then head back to Toronto to be back by 6pm the latest.(I hope!) Trip goes on..rain or shine There will be a pretrip planning sheet to make sure everyone has proper gear. The temperature will drop at night so it'll be nice to be prepared.
