Day 2

Sunday

Trip Details:

Utilize the skills you learned Day 1 & enjoy a full tour of Long Point World Biosphere on the protected bay with a break for lunch on Pottahawk Point. This open water destination is ideal because the peninsula creates a large bay protected from prevailing winds, keeping the waters shallow and calm even though it's a large water surface. On the other side of the peninsula, just a couple minutes away you get the long sandy beach, large swells and extreme paddling conditions of a Great Lake.

Because of our experience, knowledge of the area, up-to-the-minute information from the web via the Apple iPad, professional equipment, and important resources we can alter our route on a whim to suit any conditions, any day.  A truly unforgettable paddling adventure!

Start Times:

9:00 in Paris (we shuttle you to Long Point)

10:00 in Long Point

Skill Level:

Everyone of any skill level will enjoy the pleasant, scenic paddle plus novices get the added bonus of expert instruction and tips.

Available June 23-24, July 7-8, July 21-22, Aug. 11-12, Aug. 25-26, and Sept. 8-9 weekends. Come paddle with us at our favourite destination, Long Point Bay on Lake Erie - an internationally recognized World Biosphere and the 2nd largest sand peninsula in the world. It is a paddler's paradise and you will encounter marshes teeming with songbirds, spawning fish, turtles & frogs. Treat yourself to some of Southern Ontario's most beautiful sights and enjoy the area's best sandy beaches all the way! This course will build your confidence as a competent paddler, improve your adaptability & provide a truly unforgettable experience (as well as some amazing pictures!)
