Very nicely filmed. This loop is on my to-do list with a buddy of mine. We will also solo paddle, which is really the way to do trips if you can. Your detailed filming will be a great aid for planning. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, it was a fun trip, Upper Mace Lake has its own unique vibe. I watch many of your videos for ideas on destinations and filming techniques. Thank you 👍 I'm also a 1961 child.
What an amazing trip! Upper Mace campsite looked beautiful... it all did, but wow, just gorgeous. My brother in law's up in Elliott Lake, might have to bring the canoe up next time we visit. Awesome video. 🛶
Just confirmed your subscription on Instagram saw you had a UA-cam so here I am and took less than 30 seconds for me to subscribe here , anything outdoors and I'm hooked and along for the ride. Have the notifications bell hit too. Awesome video.
Awesome video looks like a great rout thinking about trying it out in September. Just wondering about the boat launch on Dunlop shores road. Can you park overnight there?
Well, we’re both retired so we keep an interesting list of possibilities, then throw a plan together rather quickly. We stick to places that don’t need reservations, crown land or unorganized parks. A solo trip or two is hopefully happening as well.
I follow you on Instagram and was recommended to your content by UA-cam. I am not disappointed at all! This looks like a really nice loop; thank you for taking us along. The access to Dunlop Lake looks too good to be on crown land. Is this loop on Crown Land or in a park? We will definitely be following your adventures going forward. Cheers ✌.
The access we used is a public boat ramp on highway 108, just north of Elliot Lake. The access is on Dunlop Lake which is a mix of crown land and private land. The first portage is into Ten Mile Lake which is almost all crown land. The second portage takes you to Ezma Lake and into Blind River Provincial Park. It’s a non operating park, so no reservations needed. You would be in the park until the 1.4km portage from Claim Lake back to Dunlop Lake. Thanks for the kind words. 🍻
Great video! Question: Do you normally portage once or twice? i.e. - once with the canoe and then go back and do it again with the gear, or all in one shot?
Thanks. At 63 I like go twice, the legs and back can cramp on long paddles, so a walk in the woods is welcomed. Being retired, there’s no hurry or desire to race to the end.
Great route. I did that same trip last year. Fantastic fishing!! Thanks for sharing.
I saw your video, thanks. 👍🏼
Well done! I live in E.L. as well. I'm planning on doing this loop in 2025. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome, it was a lot of fun, with options to extend it.
