Learn to Stern Week: August 22-26, 2016
Trip Leader: Marc Leclair
Monday: We will meet at the docks at Big Whiteshell at 9 am where we will get organized and depart on our adventure. Our journey to the cabin will take us between 5 and 8 hours. The first hour and a bit will take us to our first portage, where we will hike our gear and canoes into Crowduck Lake. We will head south on the lake, portaging into Richie Lake and into the backcountry. We will have lunch on a rock outcrop, go for a swim if interested and continue on to One Lake, Two Lake, and Three Lake with some interesting portages along the way. Our last portage takes us into Mantario Lake and the cabin near the south end. Once at the cabin, we will prepare our dinner and unpack. Swimming and relaxing in the sauna will cap the evening off.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday: activities will be selected the night before from our plethora of possibilities.
Friday: We will return to the Big Whiteshell and our journey will be over. That is, until you come back for another Mantario adventure!
