Rok and me were spending our vacation in Ontario, Canada. We had nothing special on the menu today, just paddling in the Algonquin Provincial Park for the whole day. Well, since the lakes are not that big, we will also walk from one shore to another, but hopefully not large distances.
Canoes were developed by cultures all over the world, including some designed for use with sails or outriggers. Until the mid-1800s the canoe was an important means of transport for exploration and trade.
Time for a little longer hike
Kooy Pond didn't have enough water, so we had to carry our gear.
Entry point to Bartlett Lake
Finally we arrived to a bigger one, Tom Thomson Lake.
Dead end, where we wanted to find a geocache, but we were not successful.
Leaving the dead channel
Crowded passage to Littledoe Lake
Pure nature
Constructed between 8200 and 7600 BC, and found in the Netherlands, the Pesse canoe may be the oldest known canoe.
Where shall we go next?
The indigenous peoples of eastern Canada and the northeast United States made canoes using the bark of the paper birch.
Looking for a suitable campsite.
We decided to look further.
We found our overnight place on Tepee Lake
Another delicious dinner.
Everything was quickly positioned on the designated place.
