When I was little, my family rented a cottage up north, and for one whole week every summer, I was in total heaven. It was awesome and I have some very fond memories of my time there, even though sadly, we never canoed or paddled. We did do a lot of really fun things… like looking for tadpoles and frogs, trying to catch minnows in our sand pails, roasting marshmallows beside a big huge [...]

I had been wanting to adventure in Killarney all summer but every time I had a free weekend, the park was booked up. When I checked a few weeks ago, I finally saw a few openings. They were all with portages but after carrying my lil kayak over 3km's in Algonquin each way a few weeks ago I figured a kilometer was totally doable and something I wouldn't have an issue with. Since booking my site on [...]

When my friend and fellow blogger Joyce asked me if I wanted to do a trip to Scorch Lake with her, I said yeah! When she told me there were 3 portages totaling over 3 km's, I said ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! I mean, I paddle a kayak, not a canoe, and I have portaged my small kayak, but never that far. I suggested we rent a canoe, then I thought about it for the night. Then [...]

I got off work at 5 and had a plan to go paddling on Lake Joe aka Lake Joseph which is across the street from my new residence. Last year I had received a kayak cart as a regift from someone but the tires were flat so I'd never used it. A few months ago, I had my truck in for service and had my mechanic fixed the tires, so it was now ready to [...]
