Welcome to Sea Doo Adventures - Episode 171 - Bugs, What Bugs!!
In this video, we are up in Parry Sound for the first time this season. We are here to check out the water levels as they are even lower this year. We head out to see what camping sites we could get to on Franklin Island. Then head out to see the Lighthouse on Red Rock Island. Were we see the lights hours and so many bugs it was crazy! Hope you enjoy this video. Cheers!

I was reading an article recently that the levels in Lake Ontario, while they seem low, visually low, they are actually at what are considered "normal" levels. Because of the flooding in 2019, the lake was at an all-time high. A ton of shoreline flooding and damage occured that spring and summer. The joint Can/US committee that controls the levels in Cornwall had to make a decision to lower the level. Even with that lowering, apparently Lake Ontario has naturalized to normal levels. I am concerned about some of the back lakes though, that don't have means of control other than spring fed or natural drainage. Evapouration for sure was an issue this year on the Great Lakes with next to no ice levels. I've been on a couple of back lakes around here, one of which had 12" of ice for a while is kind of high right now, but it is a reservoir lake for the Rideau Canal. Once they put some of the water back in the canal, it will go back down as well. Another great video, Mark!

[@MarkForrestAdventures]

Nice yes I fully agree the water is just getting to the so called normal lake level again. It is just crazy to see how high it did get back then for sure. I agree with no ice on the lakes the evaporation was a big factor and no snow as well to fill those back lakes up. Oh I ma sure when they pull water to the Canal it will bring those lakes down even more. Thank so much great info Adam and as always thanks for watching and reaching out Cheers!

I LOVE PERRY SOUND PLANINING ON GOING CAMPING THIS SUMMER UP THERE

[@MarkForrestAdventures]

Nice yes I love it there as well and will be camping out there this year as well so nice!

[@NigelHay]

The levels are near normal now on the Great Lakes except for Lake Erie that is still above its average. Over the past 8-9 years we have been use to well above normal. But the past few winters and especially this past one, the regions that around the Lakes and the lakes themselves have seen well below normal snow levels.

[@MarkForrestAdventures]

always bragging about your Lake Erie being still above average LOL I do miss above normal gives me a bit more peace of mind not hitting things LOL Well we shale enjoy the waters no matter the level right buddy!

[@LifeWithKernelLee]

Love the drone footage

[@MarkForrestAdventures]

Thank you so much!

[@MayooN]

Killbear is an amazing park Mark. I launched from that boat launch and its not bad. we stayed in Beaver dam Campsites and able to beach my seadoo as well !

[@MarkForrestAdventures]

I have stayed there a few times just not with the seadoo and you are right such a nice park. Ah yes it looked nice does it have a dock in the summer when the park is open? oh wow ok good to know about that spot that you can beach the sea doo that much have been great!

[@whatisup798]

Beautiful drone footage Mark, nice ride hope to see you on the water

[@MarkForrestAdventures]

Thank you so much! Yes always love it up there. Yes hope to see you out there as well!

[@LifeWithKernelLee]

Liking the camera behind you angle.

[@MarkForrestAdventures]

Ok great wanted to try a new angle this year so thanks for letting me know you like it!

[@AndrewMcNeish]

you should try adding locations VIA google maps so people watching your videos can fallow you on google maps. (just an idea) Your videos have shown me so much more of Ontario than i could ever see on my own. Thanks for the great content :)

[@MarkForrestAdventures]

I have been putting a map of the trip at the end of the videos with the total KM travelled and Gas used so people can get an over view of the trip. Ah that is so cool to hear I ma so happy you are enjoying them! Thank you for checking it out and for reaching out I really do appreciate it Cheers!

[@johne9562]

Sweet 🙂🙂

[@MarkForrestAdventures]

Thank you so much!!

[@craigaustin4779]

The picture from your new camera is noticeably different on my TV, can read your instruments like live.

[@MarkForrestAdventures]

Yes I am really liking it the picture is so much clearer than the GoPro. That is great to hear that you can see the improvement thanks!

[@DroneNewsGuy]

Mark, can you share what 'cold weather' gear you wear while riding at this time of year?

[@MarkForrestAdventures]

No problem, I am wearing a t-shirt, thin long sleeve shirt then a Columbia PFG hoodie and then a Columbia Water/Wind proof jacket. For pants I have underwear, then neoprene long underwear then either Columbia PFG pants covered with Columbia Water/Wind proof pants or I have a pair that have a lining and are water proof. For shoes I normal go with crocks and if needed a pair of neoprene socks or I have some water proof boots if it is really cold. Then incase anything gets wet I have a full change of clothes in the car. But again only going out in more or less nice weather. If it was any bit more I have a full wetsuit I can wear. But I prefer the nice days LOL.

[@MayooN]

Any reason why its down Mark ? Great video BTW

[@MarkForrestAdventures]

There are a few but mostly it is that the lakes did not freeze over this winter so more water evaporated than would have if the ice cover it. Then with that El Niño we have not got as much rain the last 2 years to help fill so those two factors are the main reason. Thanks so much as always Cheers!

[@julianosalatiel7562]

How do you navigate a jet ski at a depth so close to the rocks ?

[@MarkForrestAdventures]

There is a depth finder on the Garmin GPS unit I have and then jut really paying attention to the water and what I can see. Oh and go slow lol

[@LifeWithKernelLee]

🪰

[@MarkForrestAdventures]
