Trip To The Kawartha Highlands
Well this time I Thought I'd change it up a little and post some of the photos I took on the trip as well as the usual video! Hope you enjoy the change.
We took a short trip into Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park (Signature Site) is late August of this year. My father and I were tasked with re-introducing the rest of the family plus dog to canoeing, so we decided on an easy route with only 2 short portages and a minimal distance of paddling. I don't think you could have asked for a better route with our parameters. Not too remote, just far enough to feel out in the woods and some luxury camping comforts, mainly a picnic table, metal fire grills and thunderbox.
Sunlight is fading fast on our first night on Loucks Lake
Sunset on Loucks
The stove we've used for the last few years. Lightweight and refillable though it seems to be losing it's ability to build up pressure now!
Genny is enjoying the camping experience thoroughly
On the portage form Loucks Lake/Creek into Cox lake there's a really scenic set of rapids, looks inviting for a swim if not for the beaver activity and the marshy creek below
Needless to say Genny is pretty excited to try out canoeing. The sights and sounds of the creek flowing through the wetland seem to intrigue her most.
The scenery on Cox lake was absolutely beautiful
Last day, canoeing by the many cliffs on Long Lake
Genny looks on, possiblyreflecting on a great trip
And as always another video! 720P is nice and crisp.
Happy paddling!
