CHILLAKING

Chillaking is a term that I've invented to describe the combination of kayaking in near freezing temperatures. With the ice out earlier this year I've been taking advantage of most pleasant days to get out and experience the lakes in a new light, sometimes with fresh snow still lingering on the ground, enhancing the scenery of the area and trip.

SKELETON BAY

The stark branches of early spring and skeletal limbs of two dead trees lend credence to the name of the bay below them. Skeleton Bay, a sheltered arm of Lake Rosseau affords protection to nesting loons and offers one of the most scenic views with rugged cliffs and a cluster of cottages, aptly named The Cliffs, snuggled at their base.
