Joy, connection, and growth in the backcountry 🛶🍁🌈
Chilly days, a cast and a canoe instead of my board didn’t stop us from enjoying time in nature and plenty of laughs.
It’s a reminder to never be afraid to do the things that call to you.

One of my favourite fall hikes. The colours, the views and no crowds.
Peat Mountain, Lake Superior Provincial Park - 11km loop labeled as demanding.
Make sure you do the Foam Lake Lookout side loop for gorgeous views!

Little to no cell service so be sure you have a way of communicating as this trail is more remote and less traveled than other day hikes in the area.
Don’t forget to pack water, snacks and be gracious to nature and the area.

🍂 Booth’s Rock is one of Algonquin’s most popular fall hikes, for good reason. The views are breathtaking, but the day-use permits sell out fast and crowds can pack the trail.

✨ My tip: camp at Rock Lake and hike up for sunrise. You’ll skip the stress of permits, beat the crowds, and still have the rest of the day for other hikes or paddles in the park.

📌 Save this for your Algonquin Provincial Park trip planning!

FYI these clips were captured in fall 2024, but Algonquin’s colours are popping right now.

What a gift ❤️
Mornings spent exploring the shores of Lake Superior

Most of my time in Lake Superior Provincial Park has been on the big lake itself: hikes with stunning views, paddles along dramatic cliffs. But stepping into the interior backcountry was something else entirely.

It was quieter here. Wilder.
Over 3 nights and 4 days of travel, we saw just one other person on a multi-day trip and a single day paddler and then nothing but still water and dense forest. It was beautiful but it took time to get used to the complete stillness and vast wilderness.

Two “old women” tripping our way to and from Old Woman Lake. The portages were no joke; muddy, slippery, and steep. In total, we portaged our boards and gear 18 km and paddled 16 km.

Because this area is off the beaten path, we were lucky to be able to tweak our trip based on the weather and our energy levels. We did not make it as far as we had originally planned but used this trip as a start and scouting trip.

This trip was rugged, humbling, and unforgettable. I’ll always love Superior’s shoreline, but exploring the interior heart of the park gave me a whole new respect for the land.

Thanks to my backcountry SUP partner for always being up for an advencha!
