The trip starts from Snug Harbour where the group will paddle through narrow channels and past steep rocky cliffs. Your next stop, the south shore of Franklin Island. Where you will break for a picnic lunch and a refreshing swim. Once you have had your fill of good food and relaxation. The group will continue to explore the rugged west shore of the island by sea kayak and set up camp for the night.
After a great breakfast you will be off to the Mink Islands chain. Here you will find fantastic channels and islands to explore. The northern end of the chain contains fascinating vegetation due to the harsh wind swept conditions that Georgian Bay is well known for. The southern end of the Mink Islands hold stands of white pine, cedar and a large variety of shrubs and wild flowers. About 300 meters off Green Island is the wreckage of the Seattle and on a calm day you might be able to see the remains of the steamship that had sank in 1903 during a savage storm.
With further exploration of the southern isles you will come across the remains of what was once a booming fishing station. Some of the buildings have been turned into private cottages. Though there are still some of the remains of the piers within the water to give evidence of the once prosperous fishing station. On the return trip, you will stop at Franklin Island for another amazing lunch and then return back to Snug Harbour.
