Killarney Solo Canoe Trip Part 2: Deer everywhere!

Last September 2014, my wife and I spent a weekend hiking the trails at the south end of the park and finally understood why “they” call Killarney the jewel of the Ontario provincial park system. To see more of Killarney but also get in some quality spring fishing, I planned a three-day solo canoe/fishing trip to the north end of the park where limestone has buffered the effects of acid rain and the lakes are fertile and productive.

Day 2: Monday June 8, 2015

Lakes: Howry, Murray, Leech, Plunge, Little Bear, Bear, Bassoon, Panache

Details: 28.1 km, 6 portages – 4565m, longest 2195m

Weather: 60% chance of showers, high of 18°C, low of 13°C

Wildlife: Bald eagle, several beaver, sandhill cranes, waterfowl, whitetail deer, herons, loons, ducks

As usual, I woke up early and was out of bed by 5:00 am. The morning was windy, cloudy and cool. I enjoyed a somewhat leisurely breakfast of oatmeal and coffee while waiting to see if the weather would improve, to no avail.
