A Hike Around Frontenac - Our 3 Day Thru-Hike of the Perimeter Trail
On May 11 2024, as the black flies began to bite, Jaime and I began our 3 day thru-hike of Frontenac Provincial Park's Perimeter Trail. This 48 km trek had been on our trip list for a while and The Friends of Frontenac's Perimeter Hike Challenge was the perfect catalyst to get us on the trail. Join us on our hike through one of Southern Ontario's most beautiful and historic hardwood forests. See the challenges we faced, how we overcame them, and get to know us a bit better, as we showcase our latest hiking adventure!

A Solo Whitewater Trip Down The Mississagua River
มุมมอง 6076 หลายเดือนก่อน
While the water was running high in early April of 2024, I ventured out to Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park to solo paddle down the Mississagua River. This would be a learning experience and test all my skills as I navigate fast moving water through Class 1 and Class 2 rapids. Did I have a drysuit and float bags for safety? Not exactly. But did I have the proper training certification to avoi...
A Quick Fall Trip into Kawartha Highlands

In late September, I took a quick trip into Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park to familiarize myself with an area I had not travelled yet. I wanted to see what some of the portages looked like and gauge some distances for future bigger trips. It became a perfect opportunity to bring my friend Matt and a great opportunity for him to gain more experience in the backcountry. We spent 3 days paddli...

In July 2023, Jaime and I headed into French River Provincial Park for 4 days to paddle the historic Old Voyageur Route. Although the first day was windy and choppy, the remainder of our trip was calm and beautiful. We hope you enjoy watching this awesome adventure as much as we did going on it!
Paddling the Serpentine/Camp Creek Loop in Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park. Episode 3.
มุมมอง 226ปีที่แล้ว
Back in May 2023, I carried out my plan to paddle down Camp Creek in Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park. I didn't have any information as to what conditions I would encounter because very few, if not zero, people have ever tried it. In this 1 hour series finale, I finally make it to Camp Creek and spend over 10 hours navigating my way south, back to my car. It wasn't a relaxing day by any means...
Paddling the Serpentine/Camp Creek Loop in Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park. Episode 2.
มุมมอง 158ปีที่แล้ว
In early May 2023, I decided to kayak into Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park and try to venture down Camp Creek. On day 2, I make my way up to Little Anstruther Lake to see if I can find the way in to Clanricarde Lake. Join me in this episode as I paddle and portage from North Rathburn, through 5 lakes, and up Camp Creek to the northern end of the park.

In early May 2023, I decided to head solo into Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park to find out just how paddle friendly Camp Creek actually was. I took my kayak into the park and headed north to Clanricarde Lake before navigating my way down Camp Creek back to the launch. Join me in episode 1 as I paddle to North Rathbun Lake and make camp.

Snowshoeing The Stubb's Falls Loop

My use will be for snowshoeing so measurements reflect those needed for that specific activity. I'll be taking this out trekking soon and give everyone a look at how it works out.

    Thanks for the trip down memory lane. My dad took me in there when I was 17-18. We were able to park at farmer Perry’s farm and launch there. On the river between Head lake and Fishhog lake. We didn’t have to deal with the wind on Head Lake. I’d love to take my boy (24 now) in there. Where to park was always my question. So where did you park?

    Well done! Thanks for putting this video together and for the flora and fauna ID. I hiked into 1D from Arab lake on a July evening. I encountered a lot of deer and fewer bugs than you had. The section from Flagpole hill to the turnoff to site 1 was a bit rougher than I had anticipated.

    Great job! I loved the heron scene, you caught it just right. If you add some maps it would be better. I've watched a few canoe trips through there, and I'd love to check it out this year, though I would go further east to John Lake and at least consider the portage to Kelsey Lake. Keep up the good work. More enthusiasm when you talk would be nice. If you remember that you're talking to an audience instead of a camera, you'll do fine. Again, great views and editing.
