Backcountry Paddling by @redlakeoutfitters

Imagine canoeing through the Boreal Forest in Woodland Caribou Park in solitude.

Solo tripping! Discovering the wilds of the Boreal Forest on your own offers a unique perspective and relationship with the land. Multi-week immersions without human contact...now that's tripping! Eat when you want to, sleep when you want to. Trusting your own instincts as you explore an ancient land. Woodland Caribou Provincial Park...solo paddling paradise! Thanks again to Mike Monaghan for his wonderful photos. @ontarioparks @paddlecanada @ontariotravel @sunset_country @discoverontario @canadian_outdoors @earthpix @awesomeglobe @folkscenery #ontariotravel #redlakeoutfitters #solo #tilley #explore #portage #boreal #borealforest #wildernessculture #landscapephotography #neverstopexploring #campvibes #bushcraft #solitude #canoeisttrade #discoverON #getoutside #canoetrip #ontarioparks #parkscanadashop #campcraft #greatoutdoors #survival #yourstodiscover #camping #canoe #wildcamping #woodsman #picoftheday #photooftheday

A quick capture on camera before being released. Catch one for yourself at North Country Lodge.

Way to go Lu! Nice 30" walleye, live released and she went right back out and caught a 27", not a bad couple of hours!
