ESCAPE TO PARADISE: 5 Day Backcountry Canoe Trip - TURQUOISE lake in Canada! Fish Sanctuary & Moose

Hello! Welcome back to our channel! Taking you along on a quick five day trip to Temagami in Northern Ontario, Canada.
We put in at the Haines Creek access point and paddled down to Smoothwater Lake (a really peaceful easy paddle). We made a day trip up to the highest lake in the Temagami Region - Sunny Water Lake. It is an acid rain lake so the water is very very blue and clear, quite the contrast to most lakes in Ontario. It makes you feel like you are in the tropics! The journey to get here was about 2 KM (1.2 miles) of portaging and through a few lakes that are home to an endangered fish species - the Aurora Trout. Fishing is prohibited in these lakes.
The following day we needed to cross Smoothwater Lake .. but the water was far from smooth! We hugged the shore and made our way south to the other side and then North to find a campsite. The following morning we headed out early in hopes to spot some wildlife. Our wishes came true when Caitlin spotted a mother moose and her calf. A really special moment we are so grateful to have witnessed.
Enjoy! xo
