These long east-west running lakes are a stark contrast from the island riddled lakes of the western part of the border route. I fortunately had a favorable wind direction on these days. I was able to observe some Trumpeter Swans while paddling. The days had become noticeably shorter as daylight now approaches 11 hours. I camped on South Fowl Lake, near the mouth of the Pigeon River.
