Paddle & Paint Canoe Trip
This is a 4 hour guided tour in canoes with Algonquin Outfitters on Canoe Lake. The destination is Tom Thomson’s cairn and location where he painted. We are organizing this as a special Bala Plein Air group outing and we are limited to a maximum of 22 people. Space will be assigned in the order of sign up until we reach 22.
Note: There are two painting location options on this Wednesday for our group. The other is Sunset Beach, Torrance which is free to attend, no RSVP as usual.
At 9:00 we will meet on dock and be assigned to a canoe and Guide (between 6 -10 per canoe). We will paddle 40 min to Canoe island. We can then paint or sketch for 2 hours, and/or hike up to Tom Thomson Cairn. Then paddle back 40 min.

Group lunch is optional and will be afterwards at Portage Grille where we end our tour, put away our paddles and canoes at 1:00 PM.
Algonquin Outfitters is open to all ages and abilities, however you should consider your own comfort level around water and reasonable level of fitness for paddling a canoe and hiking on uneven ground. There are washroom facilities on Canoe Island and the Canoe Lake access point where we launch from.
