on the Sauble River. Took #wike
bike kayak cart to in law's cottage. It's such a short distance that
it's a pain to load canoe thats already up there on the van roof.
Other
half towed canoe to base of falls starting point using bike. Then we
drove down and locked all our bikes at boat launch end point. Drove back
and parked at campsite at falls and got into canoe up there.
Then
just paddled downstream! At river mouth, all got out, boat got hitched,
dad and kids biked canoe back to cottage. I zipped back to falls on
folding ebike that we outfitted with a Solorock wheel kit, and picked all up later in van.
Takes
a bit of logistics. But was possibly the easiest time on dad's back
getting the kids out in canoe up there. River is flatter- no Lake
Huron swells. Going whole way with current, they really liked. Mergansers flew
in. Tons of fish doing acrobatics. Sauble is a nice place to do this
because the nodes are all a short bike ride away.
We also found last time there's a $20ish parking fee down there. No guarantee of a close spot. There had to be a better way.
Highly recommend!
