FRANKLIN ISLAND
June 22,23,24
This is a three day trip for experienced TOC
paddlers.. Franklin Island is a
picturesque spot
on
Georgian Bay with spectacular sunsets!
We will depart from Toronto early
Friday am pick up our canoes and head to Snug
Harbor to drop in. We will paddle about 1-2 hours
to the southern tip of Franklin Island and up a
bit North where we will set up camp on crown
land at an area called Regatta Bay. We will then s decide to go off to explore the many inland lakes and rivers on the west side of the
island possibly doing a few quick portages on our
journey. Returning to base camp before evening.
The next day will be a casual day of not so
rushed exploration paddling around Franklin Island.
On our Last day we will pack up and we will head back to port at Snug Harbor. We will stop off in Parry Sound at a
restaurant to sort out costs before heading home
to Toronto. The plan is to get back to Downsview
between 6-8 pm on Sunday.
This trip is not for beginners with
minimal paddling experience
or people who
cannot swim well
without a pfd.
TOC Policy states that any time on water a PDF
must be worn ,it is your responsibility
to make sure you comply
with the requirements for this event
when you sign
up. We may be paddling in rough choppy
water, with
associated risks so you must be ok with
putting safety first.
I can arrange canoes and related gear, if you
are in need of any other camping gear feel free
to email me and I can help you out.
Depending on interest, people can share tents
as the camping spots get tight with 6
individual tents.
If you have a valid fishing licence you are
welcome to bring a fishing rod.
We will paddle for 3 or 4 hours a day..unless we
all feel like flaking out on a beach
