FRANKLIN ISLAND
JULY 8,9,10.
We did this trip and
loved it and I've
decided to
redo it.
This is a two day trip
for experienced TOC
paddlers.. Franklin
Island is a
picturesque spot
on
Georgian Bay with
spectacular sunsets!
We will depart from
Toronto early
Friday am pick up our
canoes and head to
Snug
Harbour to drop in.
We will paddle about 2
hours
to the southern tip of
Franklin Island and
move a
bit North where we
will set up camp on
crown
land. We will then set
off to explore the
many
inland lakes and ponds
on the west side of
the
island possibly doing a
few quick portages on
our
journey. Returning to
base camp before
evening.
The next day will be a
casual day of not so
rushed departure and
a bit more
exploratory
paddling around Snug
Harbor before
returning to
port.We will stop off
in Parry Sound at a
restaurant to sort
out costs before
heading home
to Toronto. The plan
is to get back to
Downsview
between 6-8 pm.
This trip is not for
beginners with
minimal paddling
experience
or people who
cannot swim well
without a pfd.
