I have been going to the Natch since 1974. I was shown the vision cave there by the elders, did my ritual, and spent a few weeks looking for moose with them,... and fell in love with that cliff! I have seen sunrises (and moon rises too) that made you catch your breath. Hundreds of sunsets have I seen from that flat rock at the top. Over the years, we would spend two weeks there every fall and were the people who maintained that trail up the cliff. About 30 years ago, I was up there for some alone time and occupied myself with opening up that spring of fresh water. I have not been there for 6 years, and am glad to see that both of those efforts have paid off for others.

Great video. Two things 1. Barrels definitely not bear proof. Keep a clean camp and take the barrel well away from camp at night. I’ve seen people string them up trees but my experience (and that of many others) is simply getting the barrel well away from camp and relatively hidden is enough. 2. You can have 9 people on a site in Algonquin. A great section of the park, and a well done video.

Mine too! I haven't canoed the upstream section yet. I'm dying too! I did whitewater kayak it at high water by hiking up the railroad from Traverse Lake, but that was just a day trip, and I only made it about half way to Cedar Lake before launching.

How was the experience of portaging the trails carrying the raft and kayaks? Did it take 2 people to carry together? I'd love to figure out a way to over head carry my kayak like a canoe.
@PaddleTV
3 жыл бұрын
We actually didn't have to do any portaging with the kayaks or rafts. We ran them through all the rapids. All three of us are long time whitewater paddlers, and so we were very comfortable doing that. I can tell you that it would have been pretty crappy to portage the sit-on-top kayaks or the raft. That's the joy of the canoe... it's easy to portage and carry gear.

Nice job but Americans need to stop saying "por-tidge"! Sounds ridiculous to Canadians - instead use a bit of a french style accent - "port-ahje"
