This sea kayak adventure takes place along the rugged coastal waters of Lake Superior Provincial Park, spanning over 80 km of undeveloped coastline bordered by striking pink granite or dark volcanic rock. We travel through time passing by the eroded roots of the oldest mountains on earth. Moose and caribou occasionally emerge from the dense northern forest to wander the beaches and coves.
Designed to encompass all skill levels, at a pace suitable for novice paddlers. All novice paddlers must travel in tandem kayaks. Dates: August 6-11 * Tour Itinerary: Day 1: At Voyageurs' Lodge (9:00 am) we review safety procedures, practice on-water rescues, then load the van for a scenic one hour drive to our put-in at Coldwater Creek on Agawa Bay. Then paddle north to Baldhead River to view the falls and go for a swim in the deep pools. We continue to Beaty Cove to set up camp. Day 2-3: Beaty Cove to Warp Bay. We have lunch at Rhyolite Cove, formed from a unique red volcanic rock, then continue past the spectacular cliff face on Devil's Warehouse Island to our camp at Warp Bay where we will spend the extra day exploring the neighbouring islands.
