Paradise Lagoon in Winter | Wolf Lake & the Old-Growth Forest | Ontario Nature Documentary

[@andreabrand23]

Wow, what a gorgeous spot with the falls and the colour of the water! Hopefully this forest can be preserved for generations to come. Awesome video!

[@flynorthproductions]

Hi, I hope so too! Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it.

[@HikerT]

What a truly beautiful waterfall! That is a real shame that with only 1.2% of the old growth left that it would not already be protected. Looked like Mickey had a blast running around. Glad no one was hurt with all the slipping.

[@flynorthproductions]

Yes, I wish the foresters had left more for future generations. We had a great day despite the mishaps. Thanks for visiting.

Stunning Ontario nature documentary showcasing the beauty of Wolf Lake and the Old-Growth Forest in winter! Stay Connected 🤝🙏

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks for visiting. I appreciate your support. Hello from Canada.

[@blendedtravels]

You gotta love those old growth forests. That is such a beautiful area. I hope they are able to preserve it. Sorry about that face plant and I love your cute dog! I hope you have a great weekend. 😊👍

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you very much. All these compliments Mickey is getting may start to go to his head. 😁

[@JenniferLupine]

Beautiful forest and flowing water! You found a little piece of heaven! I hope the efforts to preserve Wolf Lake are successful- you can’t grow back the old growth forest and ecosystem once it’s cut down 🥲🥲. Sorry to hear it was so slippery, sounds like you recovered well from your wipeout 👌 Mickey seemed to love being out! Hope your friend got some amazing photos. 😄👍👍 Cheers, Jen 🌲🌲🌲🌲💚💚

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks Jen. I'm hopeful that forest will be saved. Luckily the soft snow cushioned my fall. Thanks for visiting and I hope all is well out on the coast. Cheers, Daryl.

[@JenniferLupine]

Thanks goodness for soft snow! 👌 We are doing great out west, still waiting on some warmer weather, ☀☀@@flynorthproductions

[@carolannontario]

Wonderful video! Beautiful scenery and lots of great information. I agree - let's leave those old growth forests alone! I really enjoyed this video

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you so much - I always appreciate you stopping by. Looking forward to your next one.

[@CraigKoppel]

At least you can laugh about face planting in the snow. It’s spring and all the snow should be gone by now. Hopefully the old growth continues to grow. Happy hiking.👍

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks Craig - I could laugh because the soft snow softened my landings. Those soft spots were virtually undetectable and held deep puddles underneath. Oh well, it's that time of year. Thanks for watching.

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

HAHA! I was heading out there last weekend but my plans got foiled! I wish I could have now! Nice one Daryl✌

[@flynorthproductions]

Hi Marc. The road was pretty sketchy two weeks ago - lots of deep ruts through the snow across the road in several places. I had to be really careful not to damage the suspension or get stuck. Glad I made it! Thanks for checking in. - Daryl

[@wendingourway]

Indeed, if a soft spot can be found, I am the one to certainly find it too! lol Gorgeous falls on one beauty of a day!! Otis would be looking at me and wondering why water, but is happy when I bring out his banana reward! It is strange to think that the old growth is still being allowed to be harvested...thought we were all past that stage! Wonderful day of exploring!!

[@flynorthproductions]

Yes, I couldn't believe how well hidden those puddles were under the trail. They were deep too! I'm informed that the foresters can't touch those trees anymore but the mining claim owners can do what they want to them if they're in the way of reaching the ore. 😨I hope those lands get protected once and for all. Thanks for dropping by. Daryl & Mick

[@erikalfan1027]

It's amazing that we can enjoy the natural beauty that is so beautiful and attractive to all of us

[@flynorthproductions]

I agree! Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment.

[@nationalparksprincess3216]

The waterfall is absolutely stunning! 😊

[@flynorthproductions]

I think so too - thanks for visiting.

[@CantGetHandle8]

Great hike with RM - and nice photos/videos from you both! And Mickey leading the way once again!

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks Rob, somehow he successfully avoided all the deep puddles. He lives a charmed life. 😁 Thanks for visiting.

[@tripmood365]

Thanks for the beautiful view, and the great video, my friend. Spring greetings from Helsinki ✌🇫🇮

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Greetings from Canada.

[@ervinslens]

Outstanding film man, as always flawless storytelling.

[@flynorthproductions]

I really appreciate that. I've enjoyed watching your own channel grow exponentially from its beginnings. Greetings from Canada.

[@backroadjournals]

WATERFALLS😊! What a beautiful setting. Really nice photography as well as videography of the falls. Really enjoyed the video 👍 👍👍👍 All the best, Michelle and Holger 🙏

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks! My friend gets the credit for the photos. I'm glad he was able to come along. Thanks for visiting!

[@hikinganddrone]

Wow‼️love that waterfalls 👍👍👍

[@flynorthproductions]

They really are spectacular and we only could access about half of them. Thanks for visiting!

[@ecttreker9816]

Amazing waterfall 👍👍

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks so much for visiting and leaving a comment again. I really appreciate your feedback.

Wonderful snowy forest, amazing waterfall! ❤Thank you very much for this very beautiful trek! 💯I wish you a nice day!

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you for watching. Greetings from Canada.

Best regards from Romania!

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

I always enjoy your drone shots. Very pretty waterfall and nice to see the pup with you.

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks very much. I appreciate you watching. Cheers from Ontario.

[@FXWalesAnnaAlf]

This lagoon does look like a paradise, love the snow but you needed the 4 wheel drive ! Ooo I hope you were OK after falling. Mickey is adorable and wow The waterfalls were stunning. Beautiful ~ Anna

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks for watching and luckily no injuries this time. Regards from Canada. 🍁

[@IceBearHalfwayPoint]

Owww!! What happened there? I love the running shot with your dog. Stunning waterfalls! I'm glad they're fighting to keep it preserved. Another great video! 😀👊

[@flynorthproductions]

Luckily I didn't get hurt despite falling through the snow into deep puddles...twice. The puddles under the snow were invisible and when I stepped on the snow above them the snow would collapse and I'd fall over. Luckily the soft snow was also soft enough for a pain-free landing. Lol. Thanks for the feedback about Mickey running in slow-mo. I debated about using that shot or not. I hope all is well and thanks for visiting.

[@gaeadie]

Another beauty. Looks so different in late winter. Be careful out there.

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks. My hiking partner had much better luck than I did in missing those hidden puddles.

[@riversandcoffee]

That was wonderful Daryl... Well, except for the fall. What a beautiful spot to explore... truly magical 😊😊😊 And the thought of losing some of that old-growth forest, is indeed unthinkable. Super fun adventure... thanks to all three. PS... I could really feel that fall.. sure I'm glad you're okay. Jim ✌️

[@flynorthproductions]

Hi Jim. Yep, I'm okay despite falling twice! (I'm getting good at it!)😁 The soft spots in the snow were almost undetectable but at least the snow cushioned the falls. Thanks for the visit. Take care. - Daryl

[@NatureAndOther]

Very nice video and hike ❤️ 👍 The shots of waterfalls are stunning

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you Roni, my friend deserves the credit for the photography. Cheers.

[@TheWanderingWulfs]

That face plant, though! 😱 The waterfalls were so pretty! It was worth the snowy trek. Mickey was having a great time, too. Wolf Lake is a great name! *wink wink* 😉😂☺️ Thanks for sharing!

[@flynorthproductions]

Lol. Yes but perhaps it should be spelled Wulf. 😉 Thanks for watching, much appreciated.

[@TheWanderingWulfs]

@@flynorthproductions We thought the same thing! 😆 Wulf Lake has a nice ring to it. You're welcome! 🥰

[@kanukkarhu]

Oh wow! What a gem! THAT is one gorgeous little spot! And I had no idea about the old growth forest issue. I'll be looking at those links for sure. Well, there it is: another Monday morning made! Thanks SO much for sharing! As usual, it was a real treat!

[@flynorthproductions]

Hi Jeff, thanks as always for dropping by. Have a good week!

[@NorthernElevations]

Sad that there's only the 1.2% left, but very glad you're taking awareness for it. Some great shots, and as always, one of the highlights of every Monday!

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks so much, nice of you to say. I'll see you in your next one! - Daryl

[@StartLivingNow1963]

Another Awesome Adventure Daryl the Scenery is Beautiful Thank You loved the drone shots.🙂❤👍would love to do some trout fishing by the waterfalls.🙂

[@flynorthproductions]

Hi Robert, I hope all is going well out on the coast. Thanks for dropping by and I'm hoping you'll be able to get out again soon. Take care.

[@agesadventures]

It's such a beautiful place😍 That's quite the face-plant you did! Hopefully, there are no lingering effects from that!

[@flynorthproductions]

Yes, it's a really nice spot for sure. Luckily the same soft snow that caused my falls also made for soft landings. 🚶

[@groundbreakerexplore]

Your beautiful adventure content has been very entertaining to watch. Do keep up the fantastic work! Stay safe~

[@flynorthproductions]

That is very kind of you to say; thank you so much!

[@Munnjo1]

Beautiful footage/scenery! I'll have to check this place out sometime

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks! I'm sure you would love it there.

[@JimHayesHiking]

Be careful guys our age can't handle too many falls like that,lol. The place is aptly named,those falls were really nice! Great video as always Daryl.

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks Jim! Luckily I landed on my head. 😉

[@WarrenTheReporter]

I have never seen this spot in the winter, very neat! I don't think my little Mazda would have a fun time getting up there!

[@flynorthproductions]

Hi Warren. I'm glad I had the truck and even then we almost got stuck on the way out after the snow on the road had softened a bit. We were pleasantly surprised the falls were running so well at this time of year. Hope all is well. Cheers.

[@iCanoe_]

Wow! I had no idea that you could actually drive to The Lagoon. So interesting to see the falls from a winter's perspective. Terrific stills of the falls and great to see Mickey out and about as well! Nice shot at 4:01!

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks Trevor. I really appreciate the feedback. My friend deserves the credit for the waterfall stills but Mick and I will take credit for the framed shot under the log. 😀 I'm currently watching your Wolf Lake video and am really enjoying it. I know nothing of how the KZbin algorithm works but as well as your channel is doing, it's just a matter of time before it's really discovered and explodes. Keep up the great work. - Daryl

[@iCanoe_]

@@flynorthproductionsMy pleasure Daryl! I enjoy your content as well and always learn something new. And... thank you for your kind words and channel support. I have a busy tripping season planned this year - so more content to come! I hope you are busy making plans as well. Cheers! T.

[@jsteelsadventureandvariety4545]

Rough trail in! I have never been there, but it very much has Killarney like characteristics for sure😮 great job Daryl, enjoyed :)

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks Janson, I almost didn't make it out of there, the road was even worse after the sun got to it that day. It really is spectacular there, I hope to do some padding near there later this year.

[@lyndaslens]

Lovely lagoon and stunning waterfalls! Your "face plant" was perfectly executed! LOL I was trying to avoid similar stumbles on the new trail I hiked yesterday. I agree it would be a terrible shame to lose those old growth trees! Thanks for making us aware and providing links!

[@flynorthproductions]

Those puddles were virtually impossible to see in places, and when the snow collapsed under my feet (twice) I had no chance! Luckily the snow was just as soft to land on. LOL. Apparently the trees are protected from forestry but mining claim owners can do what they want to them, scary. Thanks for visiting. - Daryl

[@mike-PlatinumAudio]

Wow! last remaining old growth pines :0 One more reason to find this Lagoon next time Im in Sudbury, thanks for the info, very interesting and helpful :)

[@flynorthproductions]

Yes, according to a map I found, the old growth was just slightly north of the falls at Wolf Lake. It's a beautiful area but I would recommend a truck or SUV to get there.

[@Tents.and.Timber]

Wow great videography and content. Very well done with a lot of thought put into this. We visited here a few years ago and swam in the Lagoon. It is very pretty with the snow around it. We have been itching to get back again soon and this has us looking at maps again. Keep the adventures coming.

[@flynorthproductions]

I'm so glad you liked it. It's a very special place for sure. Thank you for visiting!

[@meruhan-kazuchan]

Nice driving to the lake with snowpack. Wolf lake? It's possibly danger to encounter wolves.

[@flynorthproductions]

Hi. Yes, there are wolves and black bears throughout our northern Ontario forests but thankfully I rarely if ever encounter them. The lake gets its name because apparently it is shaped like the head of a wolf when looking at it from up high - but personally I don't see it. Thanks for watching!

[@caseyoingo6440]

Wow beautiful I have heard of saving and preserving wolf lake from CamperChristina on KZbin , it really does need saved and preserved. That waterfall was awesome, you had a good fall be careful this is the first winter I haven’t fell down yet lol.

[@caseyoingo6440]

I just mapped out this location it’s quite a drive up From the 17 Looks like it’s well worth it though.

[@flynorthproductions]

Hi. I watch her content from time to time but must have missed that episode, I'll check it out. I've driven it in both winter and summer and honestly the winter is probably the least risky to the vehicle. Though the melting snow created some deep and narrow trenches through the snow across the road that required extra attention when driving. The summer road has a lot of ruts, potholes, and rocks but you'd be okay in your truck. Thanks for visiting.

[@caseyoingo6440]

@@flynorthproductions thank you it’s nice to know about the road conditions of the area. I will be up that way this summer definitely.

[@HikingWithKathleen]

We watched this video tonight. You did a great job combining photography, videography and drone footage. I like the narration you do too. Was that your new Sony camera being used for the rushing water footage? Shannon really enjoyed your shots. Thanks Daryl.

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you Kathleen and Shannon! I really appreciate the feedback. I cannot take credit for most of the stills, they were taken by my friend, and he did a great job. I'm still fumbling my way around with my new camera, though I did use the zoom to get a shot of the deer in my La Cloche video. Not exactly up to your standard of wildlife photography but I have to start somewhere. Lol! I hope to get there someday. Take care. ~ Daryl

[@viewsfromthecrater]

I'm addicted to your content, i've always wanted to start a channel like this, but other than a semi-regular Instagram and sporadic TikTok uploads I haven't found the motivation to start long-form videos yet. that being said i have a question. was it a far hike into the lagoon? I'm planning on taking my kids to the area on their next PD Day in June and from what I've heard it's fairly easy to get to and not too far off Kukagami road.

[@flynorthproductions]

😊 Thank you! I hope you do start a KZbin channel, I would watch! I've just subscribed to your Instagram channel, it looks great. The trail is actually off of Bushy Bay Road, which is off of Matagamasi Lake Road, which is off Kukagami Road. The hike from where you would park takes about 30 minutes or so, probably less. The road can be rough but a small SUV or larger vehicle should have no problem. If you would like more detailed directions, please send me an email at [e-mail] and I'll send you a map. Thanks for watching and I'm really glad you're enjoying the content.

[@viewsfromthecrater]

Thanks for the follow! I should be able to find it with that info and some googling, plus getting lost is half the fun!

[@SeniorHiker77]

Nice pan shit of waterfalls. Who can cur down a tree the gas lved for hundreds of years. I feel your unthinkable comment.

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks. The mining claim owners have the right to take out the trees even though foresters are no longer permitted. Hopefully the lands remain untouched. Thanks for visiting and commenting.

Awesome video and beautiful waterfall 👍
