Temagami 8 Day Canoe Trip – Part 2 of 2 (2009)

This is the footage taken from an eight day canoe trip I did with a friend of mine in the Temagami region in Ontario, Canada.
It was my first trek in Temagami and it proved to be a tough go but worth every effort. It’s worth noting that a good chunk of the trip wasn’t actually in a park at all, hence some difficult portages.
The route involved about 41 lakes and rivers and I have a full one hour trip log in the wings that I will likely be posting on a future date to help anyone who would like to do this same trip or sections of it.
To outline the loop we did, some of the bodies of water involved – starting with: Red Squirrel Lake, Eagle Lake, Sir Devon Lake, Lady Evelyn Lake, Sucker Gut Lake, Lady Evelyn River – South Channel, Diamond Lake, Sharp Rock Inlet and back to Red Squirrel Lake.

Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy it…

Tim from Canoe Rental Manning Park 2005 Bike Jump into lake

In 2005 during our annual camping trip to Lightning Lake in Manning Park, British Columbia, we met this crazy parks guy, Tim, working the canoe rental shop. He’d discovered if he removed the big main door (via the hinges) off the rental building and laid it on top of a canoe and put a life jacket on his bike and then rode at high speed down the path towards his ramp…..well, you’ll see. We miss you and those parks people that year Tim, Ira and the rest. You guys were the BEST!!!

Solo Canoe Trip 2009 (3 of 3)

This is part 3 of a 3 part video taken on a solo trip I did with my dog Maddy (aka The Goose) to the Algonquin region in Ontario Canada. We did a there-and-back starting at Wendigo Lake and moving South to Clam Shell Lake.
The weather was better than I could have hoped for with lakes of glass for almost the whole trip.
It was a nice relaxing trip and a great way to end the season.
