##########-------TRIP OVERVIEW---------##########
This trip is meant to see the views in Killarney during the fall and hopefully see the colours. We will canoe through the picturesque OSA and lake Killarney and spend our nights on Three Narrows Muriel.
Difficulty: Intermediate
If you are a beginner and looking for a challenge this trip will challenge you but please consult your event host to ensure that you are adequately prepared.
If you are up for a challenge and to see some beautiful surroundings, then this trip is right up your ally.
Be prepared to paddle & portage from 9am to approx. 5-6pm most days depending on how fast the group moves & weather conditions. Breaks will be taken; lunch and swimming can happen as we move most days.

#############-------GEAR---------#############
Make sure that you are well setup for portaging. Pack gear into large backpacks and figure out how to share the load with your canoe partner. Due to the length of the portages single carries are a must and light weight canoes are required. Leave your coolers and lawn chairs at home or in the car.
Boats:
Light Canoes only – this trip is not suitable for kayaks of any kind.
If you are renting, please pick up your boat, or have it delivered to the access point on Friday night because we will be launching promptly at 9am on Saturday morning.
Food:
Each person is responsible for their own food & cooking gear (Lightweight Stove, pots, utensils etc…)
Coolers are great for the car and parking lot, but please don’t bring them as part of the trip. You can ask me
