Kawartha Highlands paddle trip Day 1: Long Lake Access Point to Cox Lake
Browner and I had booked this trip at the exact 5-month window that you are allowed to. I relied on her knowledge of the park from previous trips and was thrilled she knew exactly which sites we should book, as I'd never been! Our plan was a relatively short paddle Friday, long paddle Saturday then two nights at the same site, and a moderate paddle out on Monday. We also planned a partial rather than full loop by leaving cars at two access points so that we could explore more of the park.
Beautiful afternoon and only two portages meant we were all in great spirits when we arrived at our site for happy hour. Beer and swimming were first on the agenda, followed by one of Browner's gourmet dinners! We had a beautiful site for watching the sunset and the bugs weren't too bad. We all started with our flys off of the tents but were roused to put them on during an unanticipated thunderstorm in the middle of the night!
