As long as I can remember, I've always wanted to visit the French River. I had no idea where to go, where to access, what to see, etc and so the trip kept getting delayed. Finding myself suddenly available on the August long weekend and dying to do a 4 day solo, I decided the French River was where I would go. My awesome friend Kevin Callan had been there and had written about the [...]

It was a gorgeous November day and I spent most of it paddling off of East Beach. It wasn't dark yet though and I still had some time to get in a hiking trail before night fell.

On Monday August 24th, 2015, my mom and I headed out to Whiskey Rapids Trail in Algonquin Park, one of our favourite trails there! Whiskey Rapids is a great trail. I love it for many reasons.

When it does come into view, you are repeatedly rewarded with gorgeous [...]
