It has not been the warmest or driest spring that the Highlands has ever had but that doesn’t stop these paddlers. On June 3rd the temperature was only 5 degrees but we paddled…a little harder maybe just to keep warm.


June 17th; the sun was shining, the water was calm and clear and we paddled hard ‘cause we can.
The reflection in the water was amazing!
Wayne was our steers-person and Marg was our coach


Life is so good in the Haliburton Highlands….come join us!
