Follow me as I travel around Ontario finding places to canoe. Most of my trips are in areas easy to access. I enjoy a relaxing time while in the backcountry.
Searching for Canoeable Crown Land Campsites
After a few days of rain, I was finally able to paddle out to search for possible crown land campsites. Watch as I explore the area and finally the nearby creek and find some suitable sites to canoe into.

Camping & snowshoeing at Silent Lake Provincial Park
Hi Gary great meeting you this weekend! Looking forward to your next video!
Thanks Brooklyn. This week or next I will have 2 videos out showing my travels the past 5 days. It was great meeting you and Matt this weekend.
Beautiful area Gary. some great spots to camp on for sure. Always love the scouting for sites
Thanks Brian. I enjoyed the search too.
Some very beautiful water falls there. Thanks Gary
I had lots of falls on my list to visit while camping in the Thunder Bay area. Glad you enjopyed the video
Hi chill, the ventures are thinking about going on a geocaching camp! Do you have any spot suggestions, app suggestions etc? Love watching your videos!
There are only 2-3 good campsites on this lake. Very short paddle in. Twelve caches to paddle to. Another area is Herb/Gunn Lake not far from Wheeler. Longer paddle and 9 geocaches in 3 lakes. The phone app c:geo is good. Only available with Android phones. The official geocaching app will work though on both androids and iphones. Glad you enjoy the videos.
@@camper69 do you know of any good spots a little closer to home?
@@Nathan_elo22 Lots of geocaches at Rockwood Conservation Area. About an hour from Hamilton.
@@camper69 perfect, thank you!! I’ll have to let you know how it goes once we do it!
Beautiful! Thanks for bringing us along.
Glad you enjoyed!
We just started watching your videos and love them! What particularly resonates with us is how you prioritize enjoyable activities like chasing waterfalls over long, strenuous trips. I still have to catch up on your other videos 😄. Cheers ✌.
Thanks. LIke you, my reason for being in the backcountry is to relax not to get a long workout. Glad you enjoyed the video
some beautiful falls and scenery. Congrats on 100 subs Gary.
Thanks Brian
Beautiful country. the best way to see the falls. To bad about the portage but a great trip. Thanks Gary
Thanks Brian. Maybe next time I will try lining up the rapids.
Nice video and very descriptive. A friend and I backpacked that same trail the last weekend in July and had a great time. If you can ever get to the top of the falls, it's a great place for a break and to get your feet wet. It's a great trail and a solid workout. We stayed at Campsite 3 Zone 2. It was my 2nd time there. Keep on hiking and thanks for sharing your trip!
Thanks. Yes it is quite the workout, that trail is
Great video, Gary! We did this trail for the first time as our first overnight camp of the year in May. The water was high, so the falls were raging! And those little streams you cross along the trail, ended up being full-blown rivers coming down the side of the hill! Even more so on the morning after the heavy rains...It was more than a bit of a challenge. We have a video up if you want to see the falls at spring flow 😁
@@beautyofthebackcountry Thanks! I watched your video before I left on my trip. I wanted to know what to expect.
@@camper69 Oh - of course! You commented that you were coming up this summer 😀 Glad you made the trek and enjoyed the hike!
Such a beautiful presentation man, place looks great!
Thank You. It was an awesome hike. Plenty to see in Lake Superior Park even if one does not do the long hike.
That's a heck of a hike Gary. Glad you made it ok. Beautiful falls to see
Thanks Brian. The hike took a lot but I was glad that I made it.
This was a very helpful video! I booked a campsite in Kap-Kig-Iwan soon and wanted to know what sites there were to see!
Glad it was helpful! Enjoy all the falls in the park.
Great video Gary. I know that area well. I have winter camped at that dam before ,great spot. Thanks for sharing.
Does the road get plowed or do you snowmobile in?
@@camper69 I don't have a snowmobile but snowmobiles use the road. It doesn't get plowed either. But the snowmobile tracks make it easier to walk in.
Backpack brand/model?
@@michaelogden5093 It's a Eureka canoe pack. 60 litre I believe.
Looked like a nice quiet relaxing spot.
I found it quite relaxing. Easy paddle in.
Excellent start of the trip Gary. I camp at that lake all year long ,great spot.
I found the best campsite on the lake.
Another good one , Gary. I get poopy leg cramps too! Keeping hydrated & keeping my lower back loose & not swollen helps. We're up there for an 8 day trip this coming Friday!!!
Thanks. I have a 10km hike coming up soon. Stretches & hydration hoping will help.
Great video Sandra and Gary. Beautiful scenery. Your video's are getting better Gary. Thanks
Thanks Brian. Compared to many others, I still have a long ways to go
What camera are you using? The footage looks great!
An android LG phone. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Woohoo. Thanks for the shoutout although not my finest moment. Looks like a great trip ! Congratulations Sandra ! 🥳 Hope you loved it.
I never used to tie up my canoe either. Never crossed my mind to. Sandra was awesome on her first trip.
Nice one Gary! Perfect ending with a sunset & a fire.
It was a perfect day for my partner's first canoe trip.
Beautiful scenes! Love the waterfalls and the turtle laying eggs.
Thanks Glen. First time I've seen a turtle laying eggs in the widerness. An amazing sight to see!
A nice relaxing few days at a beautiful site . Doesn't get any better than that.
That was my thought too!
Great area with a beautiful camp site. Thanks Gary.
Thanks Brian. A shortened trip but very worthwhile for me
Nice work Gary....... What fun eh?
Jamie, lots of fun.
Nice views and adventure! Glad to see you are getting out! Cheers
Thanks. Retirement has its' rewards.
All the essentials and a nice view.
Exactly my thoughts!
Nice Video Gary, We just did this hike today June 3rd. Quite a bit more flow today!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Seeing more water at any of these falls would be great!
whats the campground number
I think I was on R12
Great tour of the various falls! This is an excellent resource for people like me who enjoy seeking out the falls around northern Ontario. 👍👍
Glad that you enjoyed it. Thanks for the review.
Beautiful spots Gary
Beautiful scenery and great weather. Was a great trip. Thanks Gary.
Thanks Brian. It was very relaxing and after the first few hours of rain, it was very nice the rest of my time there.
Looks like a great trip Gary. All the best!
very nice Gary thank you for sharing with us - Brian
Thanks Brian, Glad that you enjoyed it
What a great site . Beautiful views . Thanks Gary
It was a very relaxing weekend despite the rain. Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful spot Gary. Great idea on the bear barrel.
Thanks Brian.
Great spot Gary. Nice set up for sleeping and meal's.
Thanks Brian. It was a nice 3 days away. Visited 2 waterfalls.
How many Falls does this make?
I visited 3 on this trip and there is a fourth by the Clydegale Lake portage that I visited a couple of years ago. But overall, in Ontario, I have visited 803 waterfalls. Thanks for watching!
hey Gary - we have done the Rock to Pen trip once - beautiful rushing falls there that you showed us. thanks for sharing your trip with us!!! missing it from Alberta... 🤠
Brian, I have been along this route three times now. I think I have all the waterfalls in that area now! Thanks for watching.
Well said Gary. Beautiful spot to be at. I always take a couple of extra dry bags,1 for tarp and or tent fly, so as to not put wet stuff in the tent pack. Nicely done.
Thanks Brian. I've been lucky to not have any problems with wet stuff. It rained pretty hard for half the day. Just goes to show that even after 30+ years of canoeing, there is something to learn.
I meant to go but my car broke down, too bad I missed it
I've been fortunate to see them play 4 times. I believe their CD's are still available. Hope you enjoyed this excerpt from the show. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful falls...very nice! Thanks for sharing🙂
Thanks! I've stopped there many times but always love it.
Lots of water falls and great scenery. Thanks Gary
Brian, waterfalls is my thing for sure. Most camping/canoe trips focus on them. Thanks for watching!
Very nice waterfalls! Something I never get tired of seeing on canoe trips is waterfalls.
Me too! I often plan my canoeing trips & my front country trips around waterfalls!
very nice sir!! thanks for sharing
Thanks Brian. I'm closing in on 800 waterfalls in Ontario!
Thank-you for showing all of those places. I'll be there for my 2nd year to T trip. Sadly, only for 1 night next week. Do you find Sep. is still comfortable? Cheers
Yes, I find September still comfortable. Wear a jacket and maybe a sweater. At night when it is cool, I generally sleep in track pants and am fine. Thanks for subscribing.
@@garysmith5975 Thanks for your tips.
I was sitting right in front of you! I'm wearing the blue hat/green jacket. I recorded and posted every song from the concert :)
It was a great show despite the rain. I'll miss watching them in concert.
Great video Gary, Pretty nice to be so close. He didn't seem to mind you being there, I guess he was too busy eating.......Take care, Bluefin.
I was a little nervous being that close but we did not get any closer and he did not make any indication that we were too close for his comfort.
That looked like a great show. Thanks for sharing Gary.
Thanks Brian. I've seen them 4 times in the park. Love their music. Have all 4 of their Cd's
What a great sight to see and experience that close. Well done Gary.
Thanks Brian. I've seen lots of moose but always delight in seeing them.
