GUIDED
This trip shows off the truly beautiful North Channel of the French River. We leave the Lodge, paddling down Wolseley Bay to the point where it meets the North Channel.
Sticking close to shore, we paddle the inside passage exploring several small bays and inlets. When the wind picks up on this route, you will better understand the conditions experienced by the Voyageurs who travelled the French River in the 17th century.
About ninety minutes into the trip, we stop for drinks and hearty appetisers. There are great warm rocks at this spot, so wear a swimsuit and take a refreshing dip. In the autumn, we visit a cranberry bog and wind permitting, we check out one of the oldest and largest beaver dams on the French River.
We have a short portage (canoes and kayaks can be pulled rather than carried) before we return to the Lodge after completing a scenic loop.
(At least four paddlers are needed for this trip to take place.)
