Newbie hanger here posting about a recent solo canoe trip onto some Crown land in Southern Ontario - basically free camping for us lucky Canadians. It was short (only 4 days) but covered lots of different types of terrain - river, marshland, lakes. Didn't see another person as the area is pretty inaccessible unless you're willing to wade through rocky shallows and take the 5 portages to get in and out of the interior lakes.


River Portion


Marshy Areas


Hammock set up for mild weather


View from the Hammock


Sunset first night


Start of a 450 meter all uphill Portage


Prevailing Winds bent this pine (and I hade to paddle upwind...)


Flooded Forrest from a huge beaverdam


Rocky Shoreline looked like a beach from the distance


Gear at the end of the trip

I learned a lot about ideas for setup etc by lurking on these forums for while. So thanks to all for their innovative ideas and creative input.
