Women's Only Kayaking Social Tour

    Enjoy our WOMEN'S ONLY Kayak Social!

A relaxing day of kayaking, swimming, socializing with other women and Oh yes... best of all Ice cream! After meeting at Frontenac Outfitters we travel the short distance to Desert Lake where we launch from the beach. Paddling north we wind down scenic Mitchell Creek into spring fed Birch Lake, which borders the north side of Frontenac Provincial Park.

The Frontenac Park region abounds with all kinds of birds and wildlife and was recently recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site; one of only 4 in Ontario.

 If we're lucky we just might catch a glimpse of otters sliding into the lake, hear the haunting call of a loon or see deer standing in silence along the edge of a lake. Our trip includes a leisurely lunch (you bring) and a refreshing swim before we make our way back. I almost forgot... ice cream greets us at trips end... you earned it!

Rideau Canal - Discover Day Tour

Our Rideau Canal kayak tour concentrates on a beautiful 10-km stretch of the Rideau Canal, last year celebrating its 175th birthday, commencing at historic Jones Falls, and ending at Chaffey's Locks - Just south of Newboro "The Great Divide". It is here where the waters begin to flow north to Ottawa. Our adventure begins at the historic 60' high dam at Jones Falls, but not before first exploring this beautiful location, steeped in history. We will learn of the difficulties engineers experienced while building the waterway as we pass through several small lakes on our paddle toward Chaffey's Locks. We will have a chance to sample some of the excitement as pleasure boaters and kayakers alike pass through the old historic locks as well as the modern hydraulic system. Our leisurely paddle generally keeps us far away from the mainstream boat traffic as we're in protected waters. Along the way we will portage over the scenic Davis Lock, where we will have lunch. We'll shortly arrive at Chaffey's Locks, where paddlers with lots of energy left can accompany one of our experienced guides and paddle a bit farther into Indian Lake and Clear Lake. Then turn around at Newboro Lake, and head back to Chaffey's Locks. Before returning home, Paddlers can drive up to Newboro and have a chance to tour some of the interesting shops and the famous Kilborn's store.

A fantastic day paddle combining the kayaking expertise of Frontenac Outfitters with lots of stories about the route's human and natural history as told by eastern Ontario's raconteur, naturalist and historian Terry Sprague (NatureStuff Tours).

Notes: Interest in our Rideau Canal Tour has been overwhelming so space is already limited... we recommend booking early. New Sea Kayaks & 'ALL' Kayak Gear is provided. Minimum 6- required. Custom Tours and Team Building Groups are welcome!
