We rented 2 canoes in Opeongo lake and rode a water taxi to get to a start point up the lake.
The taxi dropped us off in a marshal creek off the lake. This creek's supposed to be a good place for wildlife viewing. This time of year the moose have shiny big antlers and the leafs changing color and preparing to fall off the trees.
We didn't get to see a moose but we had seen few birds - blue heron, many ducks and a Loon. The loon appears on the Canadian dollar coin which is also called "Looney"
Loons are known for their hoot which sounds like this .
We spent 4 hours in the creek, including a lunch break, enjoying the scenery, sun, wind and pure nature. It was wilderness at its best, since it possible to get there by canoeing only. At some points we had to paddle hard, struggling a thick layer of Lilly pads, roots or mud.
The advantage of going early in the morning is that wind doesn't blow yet and the reflection is so perfect
We will probably stay here for 3 night to grasp some more of this beautiful park.

mbi0683אני יושב מול מסך המחשב ונהנה הנאה בלתי רגילה מההנאה שלכם. האגם, השלכת, השיט עם הקנו.... הכל נראה פשוט נפלא.
אני מחכה להיות איתכם. כתבתי למרג'י ונראה לי שיום שישי 31.10 מתאים לכולם. אולי נגרור גם את אביבה והלל (גם הם במשפחה). זה יכול להיות קטע בהחלט מיוחד.
רוצה לאחל לכם שנה טובה טובה. שתדעו רק טוב ושהחזרה לארץ תעבור עליכם בנחת ובכיף. ושכל אחד ימצא את הדרך שלו להשתלב מחדש כאן. אנחנו כמובן כאן בשבילכם בכל זמן.
נשיקות לכולם
What can I say other than INCREDIBLE!!! I can imagine that photo of Adi blown up as a poster :-)
I love loons. We used to have camp in Maine and you could hear them all night. Just thinking about it makes me homesick!
I am soooo envious that you get to be in the Northeast during the changing of the leaves!!! It is something that I have always wanted to go see....Vermont/Maine/New York. By next week it should be absolutely incredible!! You are lucky, lucky, lucky. :-) My color blind husband doesn't think it's such a big deal. :)
