您中文叫 水行者 吗？

如果您有任何活动，请让我们知道。

EasyWave

我没有水行者的功力。所以叫ＥａｓｙＷａｖｅ。
我们在ｗａｔｅｒｆｒｏｎｔｔｒａｉｌ上见过。骑Ｒｏａｄｂｉｋｅ的是我。
你应该能在Ｒｏｌｉａ找到水行者，他专门组织白水活动。

三天建议去north tea lake， 好像是algonquin的access point 1， 停车场，公园permit的office，租船的outfitter都在一起，很方便，不用做shuttle

去年我和我老婆两个人划了三天进去，住在north tea lake的一个小岛上，地图上可以看见的，一个小岛上就一个营地，做了两天快活的岛主。

谢谢你的意见 Paddler ，我有两个朋友 都有 独木舟，所以我不需要租 独木舟。

听说 ALGONQUIN 有黑熊，

去的时候, 我应该 注意什么?

EasyWave

我去过多次，没有见到过黑熊。主要是把食物和垃圾管好。注意防水，别把睡袋搞湿了。

熊大叔闻到你们猎人身上的火药味还不早就跑了，呵呵，安省附近这些camping的地方很久没听到熊伤人的事情了，估计这些地方人太多熊大叔早就吓跑了。

教科书上的标准的是在两大树上拉绳子，然后中间再吊一绳，把食物垃圾都吊起来，离地六尺，离树三尺，可防熊偷袭，防racoon，放松鼠偷吃。这就是canoe camping的时候找个小岛的重要性了，小岛上就啥都不用担心了。

如果随便玩玩，可以去lebaron买个薄的dry sack，十来块钱，三十升，套在backpack里面防水，如果以后想一直玩的可以去MEC买厚一点的drysack，可以单独用，不用套backpack里。

最后帖一个我最喜欢的白水canoe录像（我是每次手痒就看看这个录像），看了如果有冲动可以参加水大侠今年夏天的活动。

I am a kayaker, a dry bag is a MUST. I think it should apply to canoers as well.

最简单的防水办法是在Backpack里垫一层垃圾袋，结实点的。
我曾经翻到水里，包漂流了30分钟，一点没湿。

听起来不错啊.
不过应该添加点冒险精神,毕竟那里是有管理的,不会有什么大问题.
所以就不理经验之谈,直接杀过去.

This is a long overdue trip plan made for 2007. It was cancled due to an unexpected car accident.

I will try to make it this year in May long weekends.

The group should have at least 4 (2 canoes) and at most 9 (4 canoes) people. Every one must have -7 sleeping bag, form mattress, water resistant pants, jacket and gloves for the tempreture could be still cold. If you are not equipt well, I will not allow you to go with the group.

Permission allows up to 9 persons with no more than 3 tents.

Canoes can be rented at Canoe Lake （I will follow up with telephone number), rental include life jacket, paddles, and of course, canoe - try to get lightest ones, otherwise portage will be very stressful although the trip does not have long portages.

The route is a flat route, we will not go though rapids, but carry canoe on portages. May is good to visit Algonquin for we have a great chance to see moose, dear and other animals - possiblly black bear too. Mosquittos will follow us but not at their peek yet.

I will book camping site if I can get 4 or more sign ups. You must committed before say
