Franklin Island canoe or kayak Loop

Franklin Island is 1 of my favorite paddle camping spots. I go every year and still find new areas to explore. Its crown land so free (except parking if you cant find it free) + no reservations.

(If you can only make part of the timing, adaptability is possible)

Difficulty: novice/Intermediate
Some experience with paddling skills needed since the waters can get choppy on the side exposed to Georgian Bay and we will be paddling around 20km total.
*If waves are too big on GB side, we wont do the loop, and will just stay in the calmer areas

Beginners to backcountry camping are welcome. Just ask questions if needed, and know u have to use all ur own (or rent or ask to borrow) gear and food. No portaging necessary, makes it easier, but we will be changing camp sites 2 nights. There are potentially short portages to cut through interior areas if ppl want to, but not required

Planned Route; (may change as we go if agreed)
-Day 1; Launch from Snug Harbour 7pm, paddle west about 3km to camp 1st night on South side of the island
-Dy 2; paddle N about 6km to camp 2nd night on the W side of the island facing Georigian Bay. Enjoy exploring the area with extra time
-Day 3; paddle the reamining approx 12km, continuing N, then E, then S around the island back to Snug Harbour

Gear:
-if you dont have a kayak or canoe, u can still rsvp and post in comments to see if anyone wants to share a canoe, or rent (theres a place 20 mins away from launch pt; White Squall Paddling Centre).
-I have an extra tent and camping hammocks if anyone wants to borrow. -Dogs are welcome. I will likely bring 1 large friendly dog offleash.

-*bugs will likely be bad this time of year, so I'll bring a 10' screen tent we can hide in if needed. I'd recommend a tent vs hammock, as we can potentially camp on smaller rocky islands with no trees, with less bugs

RSVP: By choosing to rsvp as going to this event, you acknowledge the agreement posted in the following link, stating the group and I do not hold any responsibility for any injuries/accidents etc.

Questions? I likely didnt cover everything, ask away

These sort of recreational opportunities are a quality part of life. To accomplish something -you have to try something! As with most outdoor activities, it just takes practical-sense and ambition. In the end, it's a great authentic and rewarding experience, totally worth it!
