Day Two of my Backcountry Camping canoe trip of the Serpentine Loop in Kawartha Highlands. Although this canoe trip can be completed in a day or two, I took four days to go out and explore this area of Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park.
This was the first time visiting Kawartha Highlands, a provincial park located north of Toronto, in Ontario Canada.
If you haven't already watched it, you can see day one of the trip here: • Kawartha Highlands Pro...
Kawartha Highlands is the largest provincial park south of Algonquin Park and offers a unique backcountry camping experience.
In this video I paddle from Rathbun Lake to Copper Lake. Along the way I traverse two portages, check out a nice waterfall, cook on the open fire, try my luck fishing, film a very nice sunset and share it with a beaver who came to visit my camp.
I hope you enjoy this backcountry camping (trip-report style) video of my solo canoe trip of the Serpentine Loop in Kawartha Highlands Wilderness Park.
If you do, please give it the thumbs up and leave a comment.
Thanks - Jason

Hi everyone,
I'm heading up north so thought I had better get this video up before leaving. This is day two of my recent trip to the Kawartha Highlands (probably my favorite trip so far this year).
Ok. One thing about the video... I don't know why I whispered when I saw the turtle. Lol. So don't ask. :)
I hope you enjoy it.
Wonderful day two, thanks for sharing.
Yet again, another beautiful sunset. Love the music you chose to go with it too!!!
Hi Jason 👋🏻 just wanted to let you know that I really love your videos very much. Your camera work is great and your style is relaxed and smooth 😊👍🏻
Atb to you
Tom
Thanks Tom. I'm glad you like it. I actually just got a new camera, so things are going to be improving (I hope).
Awesome.
She’s talking to you Jason.
😎
Nice trip so far. Things seem to be going smooth for a change. You deserve it Jason. Enjoy my friend.
Hey Jon,
Thanks. Yes, this was a smooth trip (more or less) and I agree with you - I think I deserved it. :)
fantastic spot and great looking canoe
Thank you.
Another great video mate! Well done
Thank you
That looked like one of those campsites you never want to leave. Really nice. :)
You're spot on. I remember standing out in camp thinking exactly that, that I didn't want to leave.
Sweet campsite...
Yes, it really was.
Beautiful spot Jason. I haven't made it there yet, but now that the secret's out, maybe I'll check it out!
Definitely worth it Larry and its nice that when you make a reservation you book a specific site. I could have easily spent a couple nights on both Copper Lake and Serpentine Lake (next weeks video).
I noticed that there seems to be no thunder box on those sites. Awesome site! Thanks for sharing!
Ah, there is but I just didn't film them. They were set back from the rest of camp.
Another stunning sunset! Loved the baby turtle...so cute! Do all the sites have picnic tables and thunder boxes?
Thanks for putting this series of videos together. I know you mentioned your paddles you use in other videos, but would you tell me what is the manufacturer of the 'river' paddle? Thanks
I always bring two rods and two reels with me. Because I love to fish . Thanks.🇨🇦👍
I'm looking for another rod. This season I hope to bring two. Probably stick to one reel though. I have so much camera gear to pack...
@@TrailguidePictures yes I would expect you would have lots of equipment. Your videos are amazing thanks 🇨🇦👍
The wow-ness factor of that place, you are absolutely right Jason!
Yeah, I'd like to get back and spend a bit more time to see more of it and take it in.
Well Jason, this video seals it... I'm definitely taking the boys there next season :) That is a beautiful lake and campsite, I can picture that site being amazingly beautiful on a full moon! Were there any decent places on that site for swimming?
Yes, the one side was open to the larger part of the lake and I think it would be a good place for a dip. The shoreline was mostly rocky but it didn't look like it would be hard on the feet.
Buddy you missed out on great fishing my friend.
Great stuff Jason. I let out a chuckle when you said chilly followed by 12 degrees - did summer make you soft? :D
Lol. Yeah, I think it did. We'll see how I fair on the next trip. Its going to be cool and damp.
Hi Jason please let me know where you got your canoe pants and are they waterproof ? Thanks.
Not sure which ones. I mostly wear Fjallraven pants. They're not water proof but dry super fast.
@@TrailguidePictures Thanks for your reply.🇨🇦👍 now I just have to find some place that sells them. Cheers Tom.
How does it compare to Algonquin? Because Algonquin is hard to beat.
It's different. I had a great time out there.
Hows the canoe holding up?
Funny you should ask... lol. Its holding up really good but I just put on skid plates at the ends. The rocky shores (especially here at Kawartha Highlands) were really wearing it.
Yeah I saw the hull. its taken a beating but understandable .. loved this video. stunning.
Why do you carry 3 paddles
Great question.
I always carry 2, or at least always carry a spare. This is a new canoe that I just built this summer to my own design. So I'm still testing it out in a variety of conditions. Its handling really well. I've been packing a double blade/kayak paddle (which is why it looks like 3) in case I needed it in strong winds. So far I've only used the double blade once and I don't think I need it. On the last day of this trip I had some really strong head winds and white caps but stuck to the single blade. It was scary, I was afraid, but the canoe performed well with the single blade paddle. On my next trip I've decided to only bring two canoe paddles. A much easier carry.
