Canoe trip day 4

Leaving the Indian Lake campsite in good time we headed down towards Mowat's Landing. The trip down the river was pretty well marsh on both sides with lots of ducks. Finally to Mowat's landing where we put in and went up to Mowat's Landing Camp to try a get something cold to drink. The cold pop sure went down good. At this landing boats and canoes leave for Lady Evelyn Lake. The Mattawapika Dam holds back Lady Evelyn but there is a boat lift to get past the dam. By the amount of cars and boats at the landing it is a busy spot.

We asked the camp owner about the weather he said the forecast was for rain later on and all night, thank goodness it will cool down some. He told us of a campsite just down the river, a good place to get set up early for rain.

We finally had to cut some trees down to set the tent up in a stand of Balsam fir. Put the fly up and down came the rain. We stood under the fly until it let up a bit, made some supper and got ready for bed. Today we paddled just over 20km a much easier day than yesterday.
