Batchewana Island – June 22, 2019

This was the first kayak outing of the year for most of us. A 12 kilometer paddle took us around the eastern half of Batchewana Island. Great company, perfect weather, refreshing swim all made for a fantastic outing. The pictures below are each worth a 1000 words, as the saying goes.

Thanks to Theresa Glover for the great pictures and the write-up.

Update:

Some may recall that two years ago there was a proposal floated by the landowner (the island is owned by an American fellow) to build a lodge and an airstrip on the island. An information session was held, which was attended by an overflow crowd. The proposal has apparently been shelved, at least for the near term.
