CANOE TRIP 2/26, CANADA DAY AT SPIDER LAKE, SUN. JUN. 28 - WED. JUL. 1st
Details
This is an easy trip in The Massassauga Provincial Park, where we had a great time last Thanksgiving.
Our campsite and parking spaces are guaranteed, on the busiest week of the season, but we are limited to nine people, and the cost for the weekend is $17 per person plus $10 to park each car.
Our campsite, number 21, is on a high rock point, open to the breezes on three sides, to keep down the bugs. It has a table, fire pit, thunder box, and good swimming off the rock. The surrounding shoreline is dry and solid.
Spider Lake is broken into many bays. It is inland, and protected from the winds off Georgian Bay. There are no cottages or power boats. This will be a cool place to spend a hot Canada Day Weekend.
One portage: 370 m., gentle rise 10 m. in the center.
Paddle distance, total: 7 km.
Driving distance from Hwy 400 & Hwy 7: 202 km., 2 hours.
Traffic on Hwy 400 should be fast on Sun. morning.
