    Hey Mark. Part of the group that was on the Stony Ditch Lake site here. As you paddled away we said "dude probably wants a quiet night to himself," so yeah, totally understand. That being said, I can't imagine being that far out solo for that many days. I needed 4 other people to commiserate with at the end of those portages. Great work on the video!

    Yeah I could not remember why I subscribed ? Then I found it in your videos THE JORDAN RIVER . You see I partly grew up in the back country of Shelburne county . And my Family still has a cabin on the Roseway river , We still gather there 1nce a year . And some times the older ones talk about fishing the Jordan , the Shelburne , The Clyde , The Davis , The Silver , And many other places back there , And the old canoe routes + places where you can still see moose . Also secret trout spots . I figure pickerel took over those spots 😞. However being the way pickerel are , Now there will be food every where's .

      Most of the areas surrounding Lake Rossignol are former logging road networks. These roads were used by Bowater Mersey for logging operations and all of these lands were sold back to the province when Bowater shut down. You are allowed to hike or mountain bike on these roads but the access to these road networks are gated at the Mersey River to deter motorized vehicles. There are lots of places to go in this area just know that you can't get a truck or ATV across the Mersey river into the road network beyond.

    What a treat to see the cabin being used as it should. The first time I stayed in it after the reconstruction was finished was sort of surreal. Memories of the time that a whole bunch of us had spent working on this diamond in the rough just kept flooding in. No one had stayed in it during construction. I'm trying to talk Guy into going in. Great video. Many thanks for sharing.

    People constantly warn me about Black-Bears. Most of the Bears I've encountered near Kejimkujik were quite friendly... Even stately! They're generally Coy in the darkness. Apparently they assume everyone is armed? I usually try to camp on Islands... Is that old Dam the same one described by AB Paine, where he slipped & lost the Net?

      The Jordan River watershed lies to the south of lake Rossignol and is in the southeastern corner of the Tobeatic (also extends past the Tobeatic border). As far as I can tell it is not traveled very often anymore. When I went through during the making of this video it seemed like it had been quite some time since anybody had been through there.

Wondering what you use for footwear, from what I can tell you have a dry pant or wader with stocking foot and then some sort of boot? Is it just a wading boot or something specific? Planning to wear waders with a stocking foot and some sort of hiker - want to keep my feet warm!

      These are the shoes I'm currently using www.mec.ca/en/product/5003-150/Newport-H2-Sandals?colour=RVE08. But there are other similar options. And yes, my pants are a dry pant with built in socks that keep my feet and legs dry while I wade. Might be a good idea to have something similar as that trip requires a fair amount of wading in a number of places.

      People do use power boats on the lake however the lake is overall rather shallow with lots of shoals and rocks so you would want to use caution if doing so.

    • @Stretch691
      @Stretch691 2 роки тому

      Also the other problem is where to launch a power boat. The landing at the Devonshire road bridge would be ill-advised as a launching site for anything other than a canoe. Low Landing is a potential option though I believe it's private property and you may need permission.

    Greetings from Nova Scotia! Fairly new to living in Nova Scotia and I am not into canoeing! I have looked at a number of topographic maps; wondering where the road accesses are to this very fine lake??? I have heard the lake has lots of cranberries and that would be my interest!

    • @Stretch691
      @Stretch691 3 роки тому

      There are a lot of cranberries on the shoreline in some parts of the lake. The best access that I know of is to take the Devonshire rd outside of Caledonia and follow it all the way to where a gated bridge crosses the river. From here you can launch a canoe or walk along the shoreline and head down river to the lake. It’s about a 30 minute paddle to the main lake by canoe, not sure about walking time since I haven’t done it. The Devonshire rd is not paved but is usually in pretty good shape
