Canada Lake 📍

Enjoy the flatwater paddling of Canada Lake. Canada Lake connects to Green Lake, Lily Lake, West Lake, and Stewart’s Landing. Canada Lake can be accessed at the West Lake launch or from Stewarts Landing Dam. For those canoeing or kayaking, starting at Stewarts Landing may be more desirable, as the lake is narrowest, and provides roughly 4 miles of paddling through twisting narrows with limited motor boat traffic and fewer waves.

Camping Up at Stewart Landing

This was my campsite up on Stewart Landing on a rainy Mothers Day, before I took it down. Saturday was beautiful, but I only recorded on Sunday.

Wilderness

|

I often think many areas they call wilderness areas aren’t true wilderness. On the other hand, areas not called wilderness can be very much true wilderness.

I spent four or five hours hiking today back to Hilderbrandt Vly and Glasgow Lake and did not see another person. The snowmobile trail while soft and flooded in many low lying areas contains little evidence of overuse, indeed I suspect these lakes are little visited except by snowmobilers and a handful of hunters and fishermen. If anything Glasgow Lake shows the signs of the most use of the area but at least while I was there I didn’t see a single other person.
