White Lake and Old Almonte Road

July 25, 2020

The canoe was still on the car and unused, so we planned a day trip to the west end of White Lake.


It was a bit over an hour to get there. As expected, there were a few trailers at the launch site but it was pretty quiet on the lake.





We launched and paddled west into a shallow bay where we saw Wood Ducks and an Eastern Kingbird.









We paddled down the bay, then crossed over and came back on the other side. A quiet, peaceful paddle.



We loaded up and headed for Almonte for a milkshake.  We decided to skip Burnt Lands this time, and return by Old Amonte Road.


We saw a deer cross the road and wait for it's fawn to come too.



We pulled up at a culvert by a wetland and saw a family of Wood Ducks with dad.



While waiting there, a male Northern Harrier swung by fairly close.


A Cedar Waxwing was also perched nearby.  We were glad we came home this way.
