I have heard of Limberlost but only vaguely and had never been there. A new friend from Port Carling asked me if I'd like to go snowshoeing there and I was totally up for it! I had just camped for a few days at Mew Lake in the Tipi and headed straight to Limberlost Forest and Nature Reserve from Algonquin Park. The roads were a bit crazy and snow covered but we were going [...]

With much anticipation, Johnston's Cranberry Ice Trail opened today!!! (Cranboni photo's courtesy of Johnston's Cranberry Marsh, featuring their Cranboni! being driven by awesome Andrew! ) On December 17th, I paid a visit to Johnston's Cranberry Marsh to hike their snowshoe trails. I had a fabulous time there and really enjoyed my visit, but unfortunately, the ice trail wasn't open yet. I have been keeping a close eye on Facebook, and today the post went [...]

Marching the Marsh! – Snowshoeing at Johnston’s Cranberry Marsh!

When I decided to go snowshoeing at the Cranberry Marsh, I did not expect it to be anything like this! I was online one day in search of places to go snowshoeing and someone asked if I'd been to Johnston's Cranberry Marsh. I actually had, for the Cranberry Festival, but that was it. After a huge week of snow in Muskoka, some research online, and a few very pleasant Facebook messages between us, I headed [...]

It is a time of year when one must be really careful going out on the water. I often receive comments of concern, people calling me brave, and others blatantly stating I am unsafe, careless and should not be doing what I'm doing. What if you fall out of your kayak? You will freeze instantly!!! I have been kayaking for over 15 years of my life. In that time, I have never, not once, [...]

Brydon’s Bay Trail – Mom visits Port Carling!

Since I moved to Port Carling in May, my mom has not been to visit. She doesn't have a vehicle and getting a bus or train here isn't really the best option. As it takes me about 3 hours to get to her and 3 hours to get back, going to pick her up, and drop her off has not been an option either, so it's been tough. We haven't been able to do much [...]

Since moving to Muskoka, I had been hearing about this place called Torrance Barrens Trails and Dark Sky Reserve. I knew it was a great place to go for night viewing of stars, meteor showers, etc, but had no idea that there were hiking trails there as well. My dear friend Nicole came to visit me in Port Carling. I was so happy she was here with me and we decided to go for a [...]

Since moving to Muskoka and making the drive to Bracebridge for groceries and supplies, etc, I have noticed a sign along highway 118 that says Huckleberry Rock Trail, but until today, I had not investigated it. I was really glad I did because it's a pretty nice place! It was the day of the Tragically Hip concert, their farewell show in Kingston. I had originally had plans to go camping with some friends but things [...]

I have been camping almost every weekend since I moved up to Muskoka. It's been amazing but on this weekend I'd decided to take a break and head home to see my family. That left the Sunday open for a day trip though and I had been hearing about this place called Moon River since I'd arrived, so I figured it was time to check it out! I put my boat up on my truck [...]

For the last few years since purchasing my kayak I have been playing the foam blocks game. I put them on the car, then I put my boat on them, then I strap the boat down, reverse, repeat, reverse, repeat. Except for three times now where I've forgotten to take the foam blocks off and they have ended up somewhere else, possibly with someone else. I have no clue why 2 foam blocks cost $40, [...]

I woke up to a gorgeous day Saturday and headed out to Mactier to do an address change on my drivers License. When I got back to my place in Port Carling, I asked my roomates what they had planned for the day? I had decided to do the bigger loop at Hardy Lake as I'd done the smaller one when I'd first arrived and loved it there. Both Molly and Debra were in, so we [...]
