Anatomy of a thanksgiving paddle

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!
