Announcing an MVFN Killarney Canoe/Kayak Camping trip for 2008

To all paddling members and friends,

This year, I am planning something more adventuresome, a canoe camp at
Killarney Provincial Park. 

Dates: Friday, Sept. 12 till Monday Sept. 15 (three nights)

Before I book the sites, I will need to know within a month, how many would be interested in going.

Please reply no later than April 30, of your intentions.

To make this camp viable, I would need a minimum of six participants. You don’t have to commit to all three nights; one or two will be OK.

Participants would bring their own food and camping equipment. I would be pleased to do the usual matching up of partners/boats/car pooling. I will pre-book and pay for the sites. Cost will be shared between participants; the more that come, the cheaper it will be.

Killarney Provincial Park is a seven hour drive from here, including time out for breakfast and/or lunch plus rest breaks. For more information or to confirm, contact Cliff at 613.256.5013 or bennett@magma.ca.

-Cliff Bennett

By Judy Buehler Rideau Valley Field Naturalists In tourism ads from the 50′s, our area was promoted as having hundreds of lakes within 100 miles. If one started to count, that would probably be an understatement. Of course, rivers connect many of these lakes; all of which makes for an exciting choice of rivers and [...]
