paddling down La Dalle on the French River's Old Voyageur Channel
We sent off from our campsite at the bottom of the historic Old Voyageur Channel on the French River expecting to have to portage our canoe past La Dalle, the long set of swifts. However, it was late in the season - October 2 - and water levels were so low that we were able to paddle up the swifts with no effort.
We were so amazied by our good fortune that we turned back down to the start of La Dalle and paddled up a second time! This video shows the trip back down to the botom for that second trip up.

The Beckwith Cabins in 2021 The Guesthouse and the Main Cabin
Просмотров 696 месяцев назад
We last visited the Beckwith Cabins on Best Island in 2012. At that time the Main Cabin still had most of its roof though a large blue tarp covered the hole made by a blown down spruce tree. Now it has no roof and is well on its way to complete collapse. the Guesthouse roof is still in fairly good shape and this cabin may last a bit longer.

rapids into stork lake on the little Jackfish
Просмотров 1293 года назад
We did the portage - 260 meters - from South Summit Lake into Stork Lake. Then we walked back on river left to the bottom of the falls. Here are a few seconds of the water coming down from our vantage point just below the small island that divides the flow into two streams. Low water conditions in August 2021 would have meant a very bumpy boulderly ride had we chosen to run them.

A lunch spot on the north shore of the Ogoki Reservoir
Просмотров 1813 года назад
We spent a couple of days paddling the fifty kilometers from Eight Flume Falls at the Ogoki Reservoir's west end to Waboose Falls - and the Dam that killed it eighty years ago - on the east side. Low water this year (2021) meant that there was a lot of sandy beach all the way down. Even though it was done wrong, it is still a stark and yet beautiful land.
The portage from Two Mile Bay to the Ogoki
Просмотров 1783 года назад
The portage trail from the Ogoki River to Two-Mile Bay on the Ogoki Reservoir is about 200 meters long. We made use of it on our way down the Reservoir to what was once Waboose Falls, but is now the Waboose Dam. I video-ed the trail as I walked back to the canoe and gear from the Two-Mile Bay side. As you will note, I really should work on my video technique! The initial 50 meters was edited ou...

    Sometimes going down is worse that up, either way a portage like that is just no damn fun. Good job on your part.
