Temagami: Anima Nipissing to Ferguson Bay (and back)

Details

I'll be doing a somewhat easy there-and-back in Temagami:

Jun 27: Arrive at Anima Nipissing Lake (access point 16) in the mid-afternoon, paddle short distance to sites on the Twin Islands.
Depending on energy levels (and wind), explore the nearby Fire Tower Trail.

Jun 28: Head south and overnight at the south end of Anima. There are options for the route depending on conditions, one with portages and one without.

Jun 29: Continue to Ferguson Bay via Red Squirrel, camp at one of many sites on the east shore.

Jun 30: Explore the area. There are numerous lookouts to check out if this is of interest to anyone.

Jul 1: Reverse the route and head back to Anima as far as wind and energy levels allow.

Jul 2: Return home.

Be aware:

  1. Wind could pose an issue on these larger lakes. As such I'm keeping the distances are relatively short ea day (approx 10k each leg).
  2. We will likely encounter motorized boats here and there.
